    What your child really wants when they're 'attention seeking'

    What your child really wants when they're 'attention seeking'

    For several years now Gen Muir has been giving Feed Play Love the benefit of their practical and compassionate advice on parenting. In our final week we've brought back one of our favourties- enjoy!

    "Attention seeking" in children gets a bad rap. Whether they're acting out, being clingy, or loud, this sort of behaviour is often dismissed frustrating and something to ignore. 

    But this attention seeking is just one of the ways kids try and seek connection with their parents and understanding this can help build better habits and stronger bonds.

    How to raise boys who like themselves

    We're often talking and thinking about how to help our girls achieve equality, but what about our boys? Are we raising them to have equal ability to express emotions, to embody different ideas of masculinity... to be themselves?

    Kasey Edwards and Dr Christopher Scanlon are the authors of Bringing up Boys Who Like Themselves...  and they’ve looked deeply into the things that are holding our boys back. They talk about how we can all take steps today to help raise our boys to be healthy men.
