I kept my daughter company when she woke up screaming from a nightmare. I sat there and held her, and assured her she wouldn't be left alone and unable to eat. I did my fucken job as a dad. The school psychiatrist said she had ADD and wanted my kid doped, and I knew it was just that she was bored. So I promised her if she'd behave in class, I'd get her books. Kid cost me a fortune (you have no idea how voracious a reader a bored 11 year old can be), but I got a bright kid who makes me proud every day, and who goes fishing with me every weekend she can get off work.
Parenting's not that hard. Humans have been doing it for either 8k years or 150k years (depending on if you believe in truth or science), and we got this far. Just do what you wish somebody would do for you when something scary, boring, or frustrating happens.
