"How does your child perceive the mother?"
To your child, the mother seems like a nurturer, protector, and sometimes a person who overwhelms those around her.
"What does he need to feel secure and safe?"
Your child (whether a boy or a girl) is a true parent at heart. He will have a strong desire to care for you, friends, small animals, or anyone else he believes needs it. He possesses sharp intuition regarding the moods and feelings of others and may feel personally responsible for them. Try to convince him that emotions expressed by other people are often unrelated to him. Talking about feelings won’t be easy for this child: he may clearly know what he feels, yet often be unable to articulate it precisely. The result may be sullenness, withdrawal into his "shell," or misbehavior. To help him learn to express emotions clearly and healthily, demonstrate calm openness and honesty yourself—children of this type are especially prone to imitating their parents’ behavior.
Your child will be prone to frequent mood swings: from extreme joy to deep despair. He is exceptionally sensitive and capable of great patience. If he receives a stable emotional foundation during childhood, he will manage his emotions well in adulthood.
Home and family are especially important to him. There is a very strong emotional attachment to the mother. Home is a sanctuary of security and comfort, so you should create a cozy space for your child where he can keep many of his personal belongings and invite friends. Playing house and engaging in domestic activities will be his favorite pastime, which should be encouraged.
