So ... Reward him?

• ak39 10y ago
  Kids want to know most times that they are welcome in the herd/family. They need to feel reassured whenever there's upheaval, change in environments or other stresses in the lives of the adults who care for them. Kids have an uncanny ability to "know" that things are not going too well with Mom and Dad. Paying attention and giving reassurance that your kid is still important is hardly a reward. It's their oxygen for their emotional development.
