In 2024 a study was published discussing the frequency of parent-child interactions. It found a correlation between the child’s age and those interactions.
PMCID: PMC12411232
It is normal for our interactions with children to be reshaped by their stage of development. Every parent will experience a significant shift when their child begins to explore their surroundings. That is when delighting in our child takes a new form. It’s no longer coos, goos, and raspberries.
We begin to engage in redirection; we enter the stage of discipline. Then, when we least expect it they are 4 and you fear their behavior is not allowing them to explore their surroundings or your family to have pleasant outings. Then, they are 6 and we dread hearing the phone ring because it may be the school with another incident report.
That is when fear for their future begins to seep in. #family #toddlerhood #parenting #arizona #adhd
