4S's safe，seen，soothed，secure
Safe-feel protected and sheltered from harm;
Seen-kids knows you care about them and pay attention to them;
Soothed-kids knows you will be there for them when they’re hurting;
Secure-based on the other S’s, they trust you to predictably help them feel ‘at home’ in the world, they learn to help themselves feel safe, seen and soothed.

This book is very useful handbook of parents! I wish I would read it before I raise my daughters! However, everyone is growing, especially parents growing with children, I doubt that if I can get all those content in the book before born kids. Now, my kids are growing up, I look back with this book, it’s really a valuable book.
