“My child doesn’t want to be comforted. They want to be left alone.”
I saw someone else answer this question I get all the time (if it was you, DM for credit ❤). I thought it was brilliant… they said something like “maybe their idea of comfort looks different than yours.” 🤯
Yes!! 🙌
Are you comforting your child in ways you know are comforting for them or are you trying to comfort them in ways that work for you?
