I was very much like that, and see the same repeating with the kid(s).

Two things happened. One is constant analysis, pattern identification and a smattering or psychoanalysis knowledge meant I became accurate enough, enough of the time.

The other is that every time I tried a less "naive" approach, the result was worse... much worse.

I guess I learned to embrace how I am, and focus on damage control instead.
