What is the psycological term ‘Love Bombing’?
In: 526
Everybody seems to be missing that this is most commonly used to describe a parenting strategy. I have 3 small people who compete for my and Mrs. Talldom’s affections. Naturally sometimes they feel they aren’t getting the attention they deserve and start to misbehave, often this is focussed on one parent considered to be at fault for this neglect.
Love bombing is spending some quality 1 on 1 time with them away from their siblings/family stuff doing something they like (trampolining, shopping etc). This works really well as a reset when it’s all getting a bit much, and is usually quite nice for the parent too.
Edit:To stress it’s not about them feeling they owe us/we took you to X now you have to do Y. It’s about trying to maintain a happy home where everyone feels valued.
