Hearing Your Children When All Is Quiet...

JB and I started hearing Felipe's voice at night when all is quiet and he is sleeping, did you ever experience something similar? For example, Felipe is on the computer right now next to JB and I am in another room with Jonah but it is like I can hear his voice complaining or giving trouble. I can even hear what he says! but in fact, he is very quiet in the computer. Am I going mad or this is just stress?

Quiet Is When Children Hearing

I think sometimes we are just so attuned to our children, we hear what we are expecting to hear. I've heard my daughter say "Mom" when she wasn't even at home! I'm always looking for her, even when I know she's visiting somewhere else, or if I'm at the store alone. It's just a "mommy" phenomenon, I think.

Hearing Your Children When All Is Quiet... Health & Special Psychology

Quiet Is When Children Hearing

Last night I started dreaming about our interactions with Felipe and they were not positive because it envolved all the "Felipe please do not do that...". "Felipe stop doing that...", "Felipe you will hurt yourself if you do not get down from the table..." and... well you get the picture. It is exhausting. Sometimes I sit at the computer hoping to work and literally freeze, my eyes close and I sleep - I am so exhausted.
