negative attention to none. This frustrating conduct shows how much your kid values you.
Comforting You
They comfort. Preschoolers may surprise you with empathy. When you cry, they may give you their blanket or kiss you. When harmed, they behave like you. Lovely.
Verbal Hurt
Words damage you. Love shouldn’t hurt, but loving our kids can. If you upset your preschooler, they may say, “Mommy’s a poopy-head” or “I detest you!” It’s not enjoyable to hear, but it shows how much your kid cares about you—they feel secure expressing their huge feelings around you.
Gifting
You may get a front-yard flower, a glittering pebble, a crayoned self-portrait, or a “chocolate marshmallow sundae” made of bathwater and bubbles. Your preschooler’s hilarious and heartfelt presents prove you’re unique.
You’re Home
Your preschooler may embrace and brag after a long absence. Bonus: Even if they screamed when you left! Your homecoming is celebrated.
Signs Your Big Kid Loves You
Confidante
When your kid confides in you, it displays trust. They trust you to help them cope and are receptive to your suggestions.
Helping You
They want to help. Your youngster may offer to make you tea or breakfast. After the toddler and preschool years, when you may have felt like a 24-hour server, this is a wonderful display of love.
Flexible
We sometimes disappoint our kids. Due to your longstanding, caring connection, large kids are more likely to handle this. They’ll be more understanding if you’re sick and have to postpone a game until morning. They appreciate your requirements and believe you’ll follow through.
Bragging
They praise you. Parents often boast about their children. Our children also praise us. “My mother can run faster than anybody” is a statement of love and appreciation from your large child.
Gratitude
If your youngster says, “These are my favorite! Thanks!” after eating a snack, respond, “I love you too.” Just soak in the light.
Embarrassing
You embarrass them. Your child’s morning drop-off “no hugging or kissing” rule doesn’t imply they don’t love you. They trust you by stating their limitations. Even though they delay the delicious farewell, they know they have your affection.
Diplomat
Your school-aged youngster can and will bargain. They’ll listen to you because they believe you’ll listen. You may negotiate screen time and assignments.
