Does your baby prefer one parent to another?

Episode 113: Parents You’ve Got This - The Expert Guide to Parenthood Podcast

Parent Preference can be really hurtful if you are the parent who is being constantly rejected. On the flipside, being the preferred parent can feel exhausting and overwhelming. Neither experience is easy! And the good news is, parent preference is likely to change - again and again - as your child gets older.

This week on Parents You’ve Got This - The Expert Guide to Parenthood Podcast we welcome back our emotion coach Expert Dr Christiane Kehoe to share her insights and tips and tricks to help when your baby or child has a strong parent preference.

We discuss:

• What parent preference is

• What developmentally occurs for a baby or child to prefer one parent over the other

• Are babies and children programmed to have particular parenting preferences at certain ages

• Is parent preference related to baby/child's physical needs or emotional needs or both

• Being ‘rejected’ can really hurt. Dr Christine shares her strategies to help a parents when their baby or child only wants one particular parent over the other

• Should parents let their child have a strong preference or should parents try and make balance?
