Drs. John and Julie Gottman, well-known for their extensive research on relationships, coined the term “bids for connection” to describe the ways people try to connect with each other.
Kids are constantly expressing their need for connection through bids, but adults don’t always pick up on them.

HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER:
