Picture a time when you’re trying to talk to another adult and your kiddo is in the background doing cartwheels or getting into trouble. Or what about when they are making an awful noise over and over that makes you want to yell. Or how about when they keep asking you for something they already know the answer to? Are you feeling it yet? That tight squeeze inside that makes you want to bring out the hammer of parental authority and smash something!

These are all attention seeking and that feeling you get may also be a big clue into what’s actually going on and how you can deal with it to make it stop.
