In this important episode, Jess and Scott dive deep into the root cause of challenging behaviours in both children and adults: separation. Jess explains how our core need for closeness drives many of our reactions, from clingy children to angry adults.
Jess shares some eye-opening insights on:
- Why behaviours like clinging, whining, and crying happen
- Why kids are so angry all the time
- Why common parenting strategies make behaviour worse
- How separation emotions manifest as frantic pursuit, anger, and eventually apathy
- Why "attention-seeking" behaviours are actually attempts to reconnect
- The importance of allowing children (and ourselves) to feel sadness and shed tears
- Real-life examples of helping children through separation struggles
Listeners will gain a new perspective on behaviours they may have labelled as "defiance" or "acting out" and learn practical strategies for rebuilding closeness and connection.
