Parents You've Got This - The Expert Guide to Parenthood

Do you have a clingy baby, toddler or preschooler? 
Does your child never let you put them down, cry every time you leave daycare or never want to play independently? 
If this sounds familiar you are definitely not alone. Clinginess while beautiful can be exhausting. This week we invite our emotion coach expert Dr Christiane Kehoe back on Parents You've Got This - The Expert Guide to Parenthood Podcast to discuss childhood clinginess and how to support your child through this stage.
We discuss
What it means to have a clingy child

Is clingyness developmentally normal

Is there an age where clinginess peaks

Is the need to cling due to a child's temperament

Can a child’s circumstance i.e. childcare or change in routine, or a new sibling increase a child’s need to cling

Is there such a thing as a child being too attached to their parents

Dr Christiane’s suggestions and strategies to help a parent with a clingy child when they need to get things done

How to help children gradually develop more confidence and resilience while still honouring their need for connection

Things we should avoid saying to a child when they are being clingy

What are the signs that there is a deeper issue happening and that professional support is recommended.
