Love bombing: a simple self-help intervention for parents to reset their child's emotional thermostat

摘要

Introduction: The "love bombing" method is a simple way to help parents to reduce a wide variety of problem behaviours in their offspring aged from three to early puberty. It does so by giving the child a condensed, intense experience of feeling that their attachment needs are being met, sometimes through encouraging the child to regress to a toddler. Whilst the method has never been subjected to a controlled study, thousands of parents have now carried it out. Of these, I have personally had feedback about the results from approximately two hundred parents, nearly all of them positive.
