Helping Your Velcro Baby Gain Independence 💛 Does your little one cling to you 24/7? It’s normal! Here’s how to gently encourage independence while keeping them secure: 1️⃣ Stay close, but not in arms. Play on the floor with them instead of picking them up. 2️⃣ Create small space. When they’re engaged, scoot back a little so they aren’t always touching you. 3️⃣ Let others help. Short, positive experiences with trusted caregivers (like at church or with grandparents) build confidence. Independence grows with security, not separation! 💕 What’s helped your Velcro baby?👇 #VelcroBaby #ToddlerTips #GentleParenting
