And you bring home baby brother.
If you start to see your toddler acting like a baby or becoming super clingy to you,
It's not because they're acting out in a bad way.
It's because around two years old, that's where attachment is the strongest.
And so they feel their safety threatened.
So they're like, wait, you're supposed to be taking care of me, but are you also taking care of him?
And so it's just because they need attention.
And the study says every 10 minutes, they need to reset knowing that they're safe.
And I think that makes a lot of sense.
So by giving her her own baby doll to take care of, I wonder if that would train her like I have to take care of myself and this baby doll as opposed to mom and dad are taking care of me.
I don't know.
I think I've talked myself out of wanting the baby doll.
I think I really want.
I don't think I wanted to have the baby doll.
Okay, what was it?
Do you want to give her a baby doll?
Well, one thing I do like about us is that we don't know what we don't know, right?
So I do like that we're kind of saying, let us know.
Because on the play kitchen, I was like, of course we don't get her one because she cooks in the real kitchen.
But now understanding the difference between the two is really helpful.
