Off-The-Hip

The Off-the-Hip technique is used to separate clingy children who want to be held by their mothers all the time. It was first introduced in the Gorbea family with Adam.

Steps

 * 1) When the child comes to you and puts their hands up and wants to be picked up, do not pick up child
 * 2) When the child starts fussing, come down to their level and ask the child to stop crying in a calm voice.
 * 3) If the child continues to cling, move away and ignore them. Do not speak to them.
 * 4) Repeat steps until the child calms down
 * 5) Wait to give hug until child is calm, but do not pick up.
