[quote=Anonymous]I would describe “intensive parenting” as the mistaken belief that to be a good parent you must forgo your needs. Ex: you are starving but your child wants to play with you - so you play. Too many mothers think that this makes them a good mother. A child needs to develop a theory of mind where he understands that other people have needs and desires. It’s good to tell your child that you don’t want to play with something or that you need to eat or sleep or that something they want to do hurts your body! It’s so important that your child sees you as another human being like him. It’s the stepping stone to empathy. [/quote]
