Most parents interpret silence as rejection.
But silence is often regulation.
It’s what happens when something feels too overwhelming to engage with.
This is where hesitation shows up for parents too:
“Should I reach out again?”
“Should I say more?”
“Should I try harder?”
But more effort without shifting the emotional experience often creates more distance.
That’s the pattern.
And once you see it, you can change it.
