Oh yes. That dont trust your feelings message was one I became aware of when my little boy used to glance at me to check how upset he should be when he fell over. Since then I started waiting before I rushed to him. I watch to see if they can get up, I watch to see how they are going to form their emotions and then I decide how to react (rather than the other way around!). If cuddles are necessary, then cuddles it is ... I do of course rush if I suspect danger or serious injury! But I let my children form their feelings first. Often, because Im so slow other mothers are there before me offering cuddles and condolences when my children would be just fine.
