Jess explains how our core need for closeness drives many of our reactions, from clingy children to angry adults.\r\n\r\nJess shares some eye-opening insights on:\r\n\r\n * Why behaviours like clinging, whining, and crying happen\r\n * Why kids are so angry all the time\r\n * Why common parenting strategies make behaviour worse\r\n * How separation emotions manifest as frantic pursuit, anger, and eventually apathy\r\n * Why \"attention-seeking\" behaviours are actually attempts to reconnect\r\n * The importance of allowing children (and ourselves) to feel sadness and shed tears\r\n * Real-life examples of helping children through separation struggles\r\n\r\nListeners will gain a new perspective on behaviours they may have labelled as \"defiance\" or \"acting out\" and learn practical strategies for rebuilding closeness and connection.\r\n\r\nGet 10% OFF parenting courses and kids' printable activities at Nurtured First [https://nurturedfirst.com/courses/] using the code ROBOTUNICORN.\r\n\r\nDo you have a question you want us to answer on Robot Unicorn?
