“Whenever she wants to help, you let her?” I ask, still not understanding. “Even if she makes a giant mess?” “Yes. That is the way to teach children.”

“We need to model calmness. We have to be regulating our own internal states first before we expect our children to learn to regulate theirs.”

“Many moms will say something like ‘Come, my child. Help me while I wash the dishes,’ ” Rebeca tells me, referring to her interviews with Nahua-heritage moms. “The invitation is always for together, for doing the chore together.”

“They expect children to have poor executive function and poor emotional control, and they see it as their job to teach children these skills.

So there’s no reason for a parent to get upset or angry.”
