Parent Preference

Has your child pleaded for you over the other parent? Or begged for them instead of you? Then you may have experienced parent preference. At first, being the favoured parent might feel flattering but it can quickly stop feeling like a win. And, whilst not being the preferred parent can be hurtful, what does it actually mean? In this podcast, we’ll explore parent preference, what it looks like at different ages and how to cope – and manage - being the chosen and the not so chosen one. We’ll also answer your Listener Question about how to manage bedtime when a child refuses to go to one parent. 1 – What is Parent Preference? 2 – Why does it happen? 3 – The Chosen One 4 – The Not Chosen One 5 – Split and Share
