When Your Child Cries for Attention: Meeting Their Needs with Love

Today, my 4-year-old was having one of those moments—tears, wails, and all the drama. It was clear he just needed some extra attention, so instead of getting frustrated, I decided to lean in and give him exactly what he was asking for: my full presence. Sometimes, our little ones just want to know we see them, hear them, and care about what they're feeling, even if it seems small to us. Those moments of connection can turn a tough day around for both of us. How do you handle those attention-seeking moments with your kids?
