In this episode, Zazi and Tess dive into the all-too-relatable topic of parental preference. If you've ever found yourself being the "chosen one" or the parent left on the sidelines, you're not alone. Zazi opens up about her nearly 3-year-old’s strong preference for Mum over Dad, sharing how it affects everyone in the family. Together, Zazi and Tess discuss the emotions that come with being the favored (or not-so-favored) parent and offer practical advice on how to navigate these tricky dynamics. Whether you’re a parent or an educator, this episode is packed with insights to help you better understand and support the kids in your life through their attachment phases—while keeping your own emotions in check.
