The 'Dreamy' child can seem like they are in their own world…
When upset they can whine, whinge and aren't open to solutions.
Freeze response in kids looks like:
Holding their breath
Shutting down
Whining
Unable to move
Doesn't answer you
Says “I don’t know” a lot
The challenge for the parent of the Dreamy child;
It can be highly frustrating for the parent of the child who is dreamy - they don't listen. They avoid eye contact, they shut down, they refuse to answer you!
They get ‘stuck’ and we often feel at a loss, helpless AND infuriated. The more we try to help, the more they say “I don’t know.” The challenge is to create the time and space they need to get back into motion.
What you need to know about the Dreamy Child;
The freeze response is like having one foot on the brake and one foot on the accelerator - in equal measure! It’s highly charged but immobilising all at once.
The frustrating feeling of being unable to help them is a window into their dysregulation. If your child could flow out of this state they would. But there is no clear way out!
The essential mantra for the parent of the dreamy child;
“When my child is stuck or lost within, I remember to create the time we need to set ourselves back into motion. I can pause long enough to make contact with their feeling of not-knowing. Once we are connected, it is easier to create movement.”
We know it's beyond frustrating to feel like there is nothing you can do to snap them out of whinging and whining to get their way.
Or that their dreamy nature will mean they can't focus or listen EVER.
With the right tools, you can ensure that they find ways to accept what is and be more resilient when challenges happen.
