Hey Guys, Just in a dilemma: :star2: I am dealing with a situation where my child seems to avoid seeing me, and it’s tough. How do you manage when your child doesn’t want to spend time with you? I am looking for some compassionate advice, please. :heart::thinking:

Understanding your child’s age, the duration of the problem, and any recent important life changes is critical. Approach the problem gently, listen to your child without judgement, and spend quality time together doing things they enjoy. It’s also critical to give them space when necessary.

Express to your child your happiness that they are engaged in other pursuits. A kid has the emotional freedom to interact with others, try new things, and feel safe when they know their parents accept their decisions.

Keeping in touch with them in between your encounters can assist to maintain a close relationship and let them know you’re available. See our suggestions on maintaining a positive relationship with your child even if you don’t live with them.
