LG towards other people
I don’t know what to do. LG seems to not like any of her family members and won’t go near them / let them near her. It’s been like it forever. She’s good as gold at home and an angel (mostly!) but whenever we’re with anyone else she’s moody, won’t cuddle , kiss, say goodbye or generally be nice to anyone.
I’m talking my mum, dad, partners mum, my friends etc.
Now I never force her to cuddle anyone, and have told a few family members to stop asking her to cuddles etc because it back her further into a corner and I would never force her to do it (could never force her anyway she’s so stubborn)
But she’s so loving with us, I do sort of wish she would share the love round so her grandmas and grandads could actually feel some of it from her 😂
She’ll only show an ounce of affection/ tolerance if she’s being bribed with chocolate and I don’t want that to continue
Anyone else have similar issues? Know what I can do?
Stranger anxiety is not just reserved for babies. It's also a phenomenon in which toddlers, often between the ages of 12 and 24 months, view anyone other than their parents as a threat or scary — even if that someone is their formerly favorite aunt or uncle some children can just think it's to much at once Resisting affection is often a totally normal part of toddler development, or simply indicative of your little one's personality and social style.
