You may have heard of the term “attachment parenting” which is an approach to parenting that focuses on close physical contact between parents and children, as well as emotional bonding. Attachment parenting encourages parents to spend time with their children, providing comfort and security for them in order to help them feel secure and loved. This includes holding, cuddling, talking, singing, reading stories, playing games, and spending quality time together. It also involves responding quickly and sensitively to your child's needs, such as comforting them when they are upset or helping them explore their world. Attachment parenting can be very beneficial for children because it helps them develop trust and self-confidence.
