[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My five year old went through a phase of this. I always said, I would mos you so much because I love you so much!” And he would give a satisfied nod - he was testing our connection after being scolded and was pleased to find it intact. DH’s mom helped him pack and arranged to have him stay at his best friend’s house when he was a kid. He hated feeling like his parents didn’t want him and would cheerfully hand him to someone else. [/quote] This is a great approach! I remember “running away” at the age of five to a closet. I sat in there for 30 minutes and cried because my mom didn’t come look for me. I would have loved for her to tell me not to because she would have missed me. [/quote]
