Connecting With Your Child

As parents, as the primary caregiver, we are going to get the brunt of it. As this mother says, it appears she doesn't want to be held. This parent is very attuned. So trust that and consider when we're angry at somebody, do we want them to come over and try to hug us? Doesn't that feel like they're trying to hug us out of it? That's connecting. And while she's screaming, we're giving her these messages. I don't desert you. I'm not so uncomfortable with your feelings that I'm going to stop you or fix you. You can handle these feelings with my support.
