Q&A: My 5-year-old has been clingy and hyperfocused on one friend, is this normal?

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg and I talk about...

- Dr. Sarah and Dr. Rebecca sympathize with this mom and reflects on how great it would be if we could choose our kid's friends - but offer a mindset shift for why that actually wouldn't be healthy.

- Who to turn to for support to help you determine what your best course of action might be.

- A statement you can say to your child that can help you begin to understand why they may be exhibiting more clingy behaviors.

- How to get to the root of your own anxieties and fears so you can determine what you might be projecting onto your kids versus what are actual issues they need support navigating.

- What to avoid saying to your child that may unintentionally cause them to pull away from you.

- A formula you can use (that works with children of all ages!) to help you know whether the questions you are asking your child will likely be helpful or may lead to increased pressure.
