Hi ther,
I have been looking in to how my PND/ on-going potential depression/ general issues with motherhood may have effected my DD and something that keeps coming up is eyecontact.
Has anyone else got any knowledge of this?
My DD can't retain eye contact with me at all. I have never noticed it really... well, I have picked her up on it a couple of times but didn't really think much of it and no one else has mentioned it.
I am loath to ask her teachers or anyone else in case it "outs" me as a "bad" mother.
When I think about it, I am very bad at eye contact. I would much rather look away when i speak to people and often find it physically impossible to look people in the eye. I'm doing some work with a counsellor so we are talking baout my mum a bit and I will mention this to the counsellor at my next appointment too.
