Camilla McGill recommends greeting your child with a specific phrase after separation: "I'm so happy to see you. I was thinking about you all day, and I couldn't wait to give you a big hug. I love you so much." This consistent, affectionate reunion builds attachment and emotional strength.
I'm going to tell you one of the easiest ways to help your child have strong mental health and a strong attachment to you. My client told me she felt so relieved to know this, as it was something she'd be able to start doing straight away. Here it is: at any point that you've been away from your child, whether it's after they wake in the morning, when you collect them from school, or when you get home from work, say this: 'I'm so happy to see you. I was thinking about you all day, and I couldn't wait to give you a big hug.' I love you so much. How easy is that? Give me a like and make sure you follow me to get more ideas like this.
