00:00.830 --> 00:02.997
shaken baby syndrome is something that

00:02.997 --> 00:04.941
happens when a parent or caregiver

00:04.941 --> 00:07.410
shakes a child so forcefully that it

00:07.410 --> 00:09.810
causes brain injury . I think it's

00:09.810 --> 00:11.977
important to know that it's normal for

00:11.977 --> 00:14.199
babies to cry . That's how they talk to

00:14.199 --> 00:16.310
us and communicate with us . And it's

00:16.310 --> 00:18.532
totally normal to feel frustrated too .

00:18.532 --> 00:20.532
It's important um , what we do with

00:20.532 --> 00:22.699
that frustration . So just recognizing

00:22.699 --> 00:24.588
when you're starting to , to feel

00:24.588 --> 00:26.699
frustrated and angsty or irritated or

00:26.699 --> 00:28.699
what's wrong with this kiddo , um ,

00:28.699 --> 00:30.810
it's okay to put kiddo down in a safe

00:30.810 --> 00:32.977
place and take a break or tap out with

00:32.977 --> 00:34.921
somebody or see if somebody , if a

00:34.921 --> 00:36.977
neighbor can come by for a couple of

00:36.977 --> 00:39.032
minutes and give you a break . There

00:39.032 --> 00:41.199
are a lot of ways that we can calm our

00:41.199 --> 00:43.421
central nervous system , sometimes just

00:43.421 --> 00:45.643
breathing , taking deep breaths in slow

00:45.643 --> 00:47.754
deep breaths in through your nose and

00:47.754 --> 00:47.470
slow breaths out through your mouth .

00:47.470 --> 00:49.581
It literally calm your nervous system

00:49.581 --> 00:51.692
down . Water can be very soothing and

00:51.692 --> 00:53.914
resetting too . So just taking a couple

00:53.914 --> 00:56.026
of seconds to wash your hands and run

00:56.026 --> 00:58.081
your hands through water . Everybody

00:58.081 --> 01:00.192
has felt frustrated by their child at

01:00.192 --> 01:01.170
some point , so you're not alone
