If you are experiencing this at the moment you will know that it can cause so much upset, not only for the parent or carer that is being ‘rejected’, but also for the parent / carer who is needing to do everything with and for their child.
In this episode we talked about:
- Why this happens and typically what age it might be.
- The emotions surrounding it and how it can feel for parents and carers.
- What you can do to help (and why it’s important not to push things with your little one – your reactions will always provoke a reaction!)
- How children are egocentric and only see things from their own perspective – this stage is all about learning about life, feelings and building connections.
- How this can happen any time but that it is particularly prevalent at times of change.
- Some steps to try and help and other things you can do to help keep your child feeling safe and secure.
