Let’s gently unpack why children sometimes cling to their caretakers more than their own parents — and why it doesn’t mean you’re a bad mum (or dad). In fact, it means you’re doing something right.

We’re living in an age where your uterus apparently can’t function unless it’s got the approval of some self-declared health guru with a ring light and affiliate code.
