I wonder if anyone can help. My ds is 2, and said tonight that he is scared of dh (his dad).
DH is a kind and gentle man, though does sometimes get cross and snap by shouting too loudly (imo) but has never ever been violent to ds (or me).
He is devastated that ds said this. I don't know what to suggest he does to help ds become more comfortable with him so wondered if anyone has any tips?
We're (relatively) new to parenting and I expect we're getting all sorts wrong, but I don't think our ds should ever feel frightened of either of us, ever. So I want to nip this in the bud before it drives dh away (he was so hurt, he said he might as well not be part of the family).
