A member asked:

Why does my 20 month old son prefer only mom and throws a fit if dad wants to help? my husband takes it personally and i am tired of being #1

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stage of development: Freud and piaget would have a categorical answer. Suffice it to say that this is normal. Children undergo different familial needs at different ages, and at that age many just simply prefer mom. It will change usually around 2 1/2 to 3, and dad is suddenly cool again.
