    Hi

    Once again, I’m confused. When I listened to Dr. Neufeld at a conference last year, he mentioned that those who have the children who are clingy to you at the door of school and crying for you, means this is a good thing. It’s the ones who are not doing that, is a concern. In this video, I am hearing the opposite.

    Both of my daughters cry etc at the doors to school…but only for me and only while I’m still there. As soon as I leave, they are fine. Please can you explain. I’m looking forward to taking your courses! I’m so intrigued by Child Psychology and finding ways to navigate my way through some of these incredibly difficult years!

    Thanks, Sarah
