Description
In this episode, I talk about when children use have a soft toy, blanket or other object as a control pattern. This might be something they use to suppress their feelings when going to sleep or during the day when feelings bubble up.
I explain about how they used to be known as 'transitional objects' in Winnicott's work, and how we see them differently in Aware Parenting.
I also share my own experience of having a bunny as a control pattern for many years, and the touching experience I had in my early twenties.
I offer ideas for how you can help your child if they have a control pattern like this.
Then I read out the story from a child who has a bunny control pattern from my latest book, 'I'm Here and I'm Listening.'
You can buy the paperback or ebook on Amazon by searching for 'I'm Here and I'm Listening' on the Amazon store in your country!
