[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh OP, this is such a hard age. Read No Bad Kids -- it was a huge help to me. Also, this is the absolute peak age for separation anxiety. IT GETS BETTER. Truly. Lastly, next time your husband is away, make sure to schedule your nanny or a sitter for a couple hours. No shame in that, even though people in DCUM-land will tell you otherwise.[/quote] Yes to No Bad Kids! Surprised it took 3 pages to bring up Janet Lansbury. Her website has much of the material in the book as well as transcripts of her podcast. The advice is simple and repetitive for good reason, and might help you reframe your child's behavior and your reactions. The whole 'let feelings be' was a revelation to me. You're not a bad mom and most of us have felt like this at some point.[/quote]
