The rule

A child can sense a parent's emotions.

A parent's anxiety can make a child feel pressured. This pressure can cause the child to pull away.

A child can feel a parent's strong emotions. If a parent feels anxious, the child can sense this fear. This feeling can be overwhelming for a child. The child might then try to move away from the parent. The parent's own feelings create a reaction in the child.
