Attachment bonding is critical to physical and mental health. Independence comes from knowing that there is someone you can count on 100% when things get tough. You don't have to be independent to the point of being solitary! We are all better TOGETHER!!

Hugs, midnight cuddles and comforting have no expiry date.

Breastfeed to sleep and through the night if it works for you mama (it did for me!).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lay with your 5 or 8 or 12-year-old as they fall asleep if they need you to (or if you want to!).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hold them close.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Forget the milestones and accept the as is of the present moment, the reality of very slow pace of healthy child development. Don't judge or second guess.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Flow, don't resist.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Snuggle with your toddler. Hug your teen. Let them be little. Let yourself fall deeply in love with this new soul who shares your life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Affection and loving touch cannot "spoil" your child - it is the opposite that's true!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We covet independence as a culture, yet we don't fully understand it. If we did, we wouldn't push our children away. We would have a deep knowing that as my friend .vanessalapointe says, “It is out of the gift of deep dependence that true independence emerges."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So cuddle those babies, hold your children and when they're ready to start taking steps away, they will.
