5yo boy, in reception. Has always favoured mum for care, things like dressing, brushing teeth, getting ready for bed. If she is not in the house then he'll accept it from dad or another adult. But if she is there and doing something for other children, or in the toilet, or trying to do another job, 5yo will refuse to let someone else do it. Fights, runs away, undresses himself again, will work himself into hysterical crying because he wants mummy to put his pyjamas on/brush his teeth etc. No amount of explaining that mummy is just doing xyz and she'll come and be with him in five minutes to put him to bed will help. Other adults aren't being harsh with him or anything different it's the same routine, but he wants mummy doing it not anyone else. Any suggestions of how to try to work through this? When he was a breastfeeding toddler it was understandable but he's 5yo and still putting it all on her, she can't and shouldn't have to do it all, but if trying to get his pyjamas on leads to hysterical crying just before bed then other adults trying to takeover seems to make the situation worse.
