5:22 - Understanding the importance of "good enough" parenting for your child's development.

6:19 - What is the goal of parenting in our child's first year? Is there such a thing as a child being too young for you to build up their resilience?

9:22 - The difference between survival and resilience.

12:45 - What emotion regulation looks like developmentally in the first year and how to become attuned to your baby's different cries.

23:01 - If we frame resilience as the ability to trust yourself and believe your feelings are important, the best way to teach that to a young child is to mirror what they are feeling as real and important.
