A child who clings isn’t being “needy” or “attention seeking.”

They’re expressing:
“My body needs closeness to feel okay right now.”

That’s Automatic Interoception Communication. A child’s natural, reflexive expressions of their inner experience.

When we meet it with curiosity, not correction or behavior modification, many children eventually feel safe enough to express and meet that same need in more intentional, reflective ways.

Connection supports interoception communication.
Compliance disrupts it.
