Episode Details

My four-year-old is relentless in their demand for constant attention. But especially when I’m doing something like checking a text message, watching something on my phone, or talking to someone else- even just their dad! If I don’t pay attention immediately, he freaks out. How do I get this under control?

In this episode, I:

• Reassure you that the need for connection is totally normal!
• Describe the neurobiology processes that make a lack of connection feel like danger
• Recommend resources for how to help your child be able to tolerate disconnection

Welcome to Fridays in February Q&As!  I'll be answering one question every Friday in February.

Underneath every behavior is something happening in the body, specifically in the nervous system. When we support the body first, behavior often begins to shift. Even for kids who don't have a sensory processing disorder!
