This particular posture of Dulcey is for attention. She wants to be stroked and spoken to! After she received that attention she would go back to her toys and play items.
All of us wait for attention to be heard, understood or spoken to! It is when this longing is fulfilled we find encouragement to relate and to belong!
Most children cry to receive attention when they are hungry, lonely, or some form of pain or anxiety! We console children when we sense such a need expressed through their cry.
I wonder whether we as adults are aware of the needs of each others even when they are expressed in different ways that call for attention!
I is most significant dimension of relationship between spouses. To give attention even when it is not asked for! To be in that attitude of consciousness of the needs of each other is the key to deepening relationships at home!
