It annoys me when people say such things about babies. Of course they are going to be attached to their primary care giver, you are their safe space after all. My little boy is the same, even though he stays with my parents twice a week while I’m at work. He still attaches on to me when I’m there but once I leave he’s fine with them.
It's totally normal, if you look up the strange situation by Mary ainsworth you can see that young children with healthy attachments behave like this. When they don't respond this way, it's actually a sign that they've got poor quality/ negative attachments to their main caregivers, it might interest him to do a bit of reading around attachment theory if he is concerned
Thank you so much ladies! I wasn’t worried at all but got really frustrated today when he made these comments. I’ll share more evidence based stuff with him for sure!
Completely normal. It actually means you have a really strong healthy attachment as you are her safe place. It's a primal instinct to not trust strangers for safety reasons. She'll grow out if it. It's important to trust our babies instincts, respond to them & encourage them to share how they feel. X
Completely normal. My little boy won’t even go to his gran at the minute who he knows and see all the time!
It's 100% normal. My little girl is the same. Sometimes she doesn't even want to go to my parents or my sister who she sees weekly. It's just a phase & nothing to do with bad attachment.
