Whining child
My two year 3 month old son always whine for his mother. It stops his mother to do regular work at home. He always try to hang into her lap or try to be with her always. Even I can't even control the behaviour. Tried a lot. Is it normal at this age or indication of any latent issue? Pls clarify.

Hello Friend, Good that you are seeking a help here. I can understand your suitation and difficulties of parenting experiences.
Surely it's not a worrying factor until he is not social or ready to mingle with other people around.
Is your wife working or housewife?.
In fact, as a father you have a major role to play in bringing new routines and changes to him, so that his dependency on mothers is gradually reduced. There are parenting techniques to bring this change among young kids.
Feel free to call me or reach me online for further evaluation and assistance. Be positive. He is alright.

Hi,
it could be separation anxiety
The first peak of separation anxiety usually takes place in the second half of the first year, and lasts for about 2 to 4 months, though there is great variability in this.
It is manageable and should be adressed
Consult with me or any psychologist for therapy
all the best

It is normal at this age...
As a father, spend more time in engaging your son, talk more.. Play with him...
You need not carry him when he cries, yet, you can engage him by your activities...
