In this episode of Ask Rahul – Parenting Advice, Rahul talks about the one thing every child quietly asks: “Am I safe with you?” Through simple, real-life moments from his own home, he explains what attachment really means in everyday Indian families—not as a theory, but as a feeling of “my parent is my safe place.”

You’ll hear how small habits like eye contact, sitting next to your child without your phone, and listening before advising can slowly repair distance and build deep trust. Rahul also shares how working parents can create micro-rituals of connection—even with long commutes, late-night meetings, and school pressure.

By the end of this short, practical episode, you’ll walk away with:

• 3 signs your child is craving more connection from you
• 3 simple daily actions to strengthen secure attachment (no fancy parenting tools needed)
• A gentle script to use when you lose your temper and want to reconnect

This episode is especially for parents who worry, “Am I doing enough?” or “Did I already damage my child?” The answer is: it’s not too late. Attachment is built in small, repeated moments of being present, not by being a perfect parent.

Hit play, try one small change this week, and see how your child’s behaviour shifts when they start to feel truly safe with you.
