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.
