I have a five year old ds who tells me constantly that he loves me, that I'm beautiful, the best mummy in the world etc, like several times in an hour all day. Part of me thinks that's lovely but another part of me is beginning to wonder if it's a bit of an anxiety thing, ie needing the reassurance as I always reply that I love him too.
He's a confident boy but cares deeply about what people think of him and can be a bit of a people pleaser as a result.
So, what are your experiences? Do your dc do this? Is it just an age thing do you think? Thanks!
