In fact, one of the most important parts of raising a child is getting them to understand that we love them no matter what and that we are the person they need to turn to in times of hardship and crisis.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Unfortunately, sometimes, simply saying &#8220;I love you&#8221;, or catching them when they fall (literally and figuratively) isn&#8217;t enough for your child to understand that you are, and will always be, their biggest cheerleader in life.&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;h3&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;What is the &#039;ideal&#039; attachment style?&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h3&#62; &#60;p&#62;Ideally, your child should have &#60;strong&#62;the &#8220;secure attachment&#8221; style,&#60;/strong&#62; a style where a child feels comfortable with expressing their most automatic feelings, whether it be distress or happiness. &#160;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/parenting/parenting-tips/5-unhealthy-parenting-styles-to-ditch-293439.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=5&#34;&#62;Everything else&#60;/a&#62;, including ambivalent, avoidant, and disorganized attachment styles, fall under the &#8220;insecure attachment&#8221; category. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;These attachment styles are so important to your child&#8217;s growth that is has been proved that children who showed signs of secure attachment with their mothers are more likely to&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/lifelove/coaching-lifelove/aieshah-8-secret-making-love-story-last-21933.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62; succeed in their platonic and romantic relationships&#60;/a&#62; as they grow older, and are even believed to be better at socializing!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h3&#62; &#60;span&#62;&#60;strong&#62;What is broken can be fixed&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h3&#62; &#60;p&#62;But even if you do spot some familiar signs, do not fret. Professionals believe that attachment styles are malleable and can be fixed over time. Additionally, attachment styles are also highly dependent on your child&#8217;s &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/parenting/advice-for-mums/could-you-306163.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;innate personality &#60;/a&#62;- so chances are, your child just needs to learn to get out his or her shell. &#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Here are five signs your child has an avoidant attachment style, and specific ways you can make your relationship with your child an even more fulfilling one!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Kanako Sugawara&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;READ MORE:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/parenting/family-matters/what-is-a-yes-day-284281.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;What is a &#8216;Yes Day&#8217;?: The new parenting trend dividing the Internet&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/parenting/family-matters/regular-family-meals-create-healthier-well-behaved-children-according-new-study-293753.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Having family meals create healthier children, new study finds&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/parenting/parenting-tips/5-unhealthy-parenting-styles-to-ditch-293439.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=5&#34;&#62;5 Unhealthy parenting styles to ditch in 2018, according to experts&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/my/parenting-my/parenting-tips-my/5-signs-child-avoidant-attachment-style-can-fix-321991.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/my/parenting-my/parenting-tips-my/5-signs-child-avoidant-attachment-style-can-fix-321991.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

		Are you guilty of showering your kids with toys? If yes, you might actually be hindering their development. <media:description><![CDATA[]]></media:description>

One group of kids were given 4 toys to play with, while other was given 16. The result: the kids who played with fewer toys had a significantly higher quality of play, the kids who had more options to play with.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;This study echoes the sentiments of previous&#160;experts who have championed fewer, or even toy-free play areas for young children, citing their&#160; development for reasons why less is more when it comes to toys.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;You might ask - what if I want to spoil my kids? After all, &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/parenting/parenting-tips/five-love-languages-children-279049.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;showering them with toys is exactly how some parents show their love.&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;In fact, kids were found to be happier when playing with fewer toys.&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;span style=&#34;display: block;&#34; class=&#34;wrap-img&#34; id=&#34;wrap-img-309667&#34;&#62;&#60;img loading=&#34;lazy&#34; decoding=&#34;async&#34; class=&#34;wp-image-309667 img-responsive  size-large&#34; src=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2018/04/gettyimages-722211377-1024x683.jpg&#34; alt=&#34;&#34; width=&#34;1024&#34; height=&#34;683&#34; /&#62;&#60;/span&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Well, we hate to break it to you, but it turns out that&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/parenting/parenting-tips/new-study-smartphone-addiction-makes-teenagers-unhappy-296809.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62; kids are actually happier&#60;/a&#62; with fewer toys.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;More recently, a 2018&#160;study suggested that&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/parenting/kids-activities/physically-active-children-depression-228995.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62; kids have happier and healthier playtime sessions&#60;/a&#62; when they have fewer toys to play with, according to &#60;em&#62;Good Housekeeping&#60;/em&#62;.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;The psychology behind this has to do with the idea of choice: during their early developmental years, children have short attention spans. When given dozens of toys, they feel overwhelmed with the different choices and often end up playing with nothing at all. Also, having too many toys makes kids play passively, rather than actively. Instead of playing with their toys, they expect to be amused by their toys.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;How much is too much, then?&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;The fewer the toys, and &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/parenting/parenting-tips/childs-room-decoration-256822.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;the more streamlined their play area&#60;/a&#62;, the better it is for your kids, parents!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;According to a social experiment in Germany, kids actually &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/parenting/advice-for-mums/creative-hobbies-kids-255756.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;displayed far more imagination, creativity,&#60;/a&#62; and social skills when they convinced a kindergarten classroom to remove all its toys for three months, according to&#60;em&#62; The Independent.&#160;&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;So yes; refraining from buying your little one the next new trendy toy fad is not Scrooge-like mom behaviour, mamas. Your kid will thank you for that in the future.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Sarah Khan&#160;&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Photos: Getty Images&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;Read More:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/food/hot-spots/recommended-spots/family-friendly-restaurants-and-cafes-for-the-kids-307752.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Roberston Quay: 5 Best family-friendly cafes in the neighbourhood your kids will love&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/travel/now-or-never/travel-news/shangri-la-singapore-luxury-kid-suites-308151.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Shangri-La Singapore introduces luxury fantasy-themed suites just for kids&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/parenting/kids-activities/bonding-museum-5-singapore-museums-perfect-kids-296065.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;5 Kid-friendly museums in Singapore perfect for a weekend of family fun&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;  &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/my/parenting-my/parenting-tips-my/dear-parents-why-having-fewer-toys-create-happier-brighter-kids-309672.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/my/parenting-my/parenting-tips-my/dear-parents-why-having-fewer-toys-create-happier-brighter-kids-309672.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

		Netflix has just announced a new set of parental control that lets parents specifically decide on what their kids are allowed to watch.<media:description><![CDATA[]]></media:description>

So if you think your little one&#039;s too young for Frozen, you even have that option of restricting it from them (sorry kids - you&#039;ve got to Let It Go!).&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;In addition to the parenting controls, the new update will also reflect the maturity label ratings for all its shows more clearly on Netflix. This will let you as parents make better judgement on deciding which shows you&#039;d let your kids watch.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;It can be scary navigating this digital age as a parent &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/parenting/parenting-tips/teach-daughter-body-224591.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;raising young children&#60;/a&#62;; which is why it&#039;s always heartening when global giants such as Netflix and Google (with its &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/parenting/family-matters/heads-parents-theres-app-lets-monitor-childs-social-media-activity-300716.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;recent launch of Family Link&#60;/a&#62; in the US and Canada) come onboard on issues of content control for kids.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Unfortunately, Netflix has announced that these updates will be rolled out globally over the next few months, and across various devices you can download Netflix on (i.e. &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/parenting/parenting-tips/new-study-smartphone-addiction-makes-teenagers-unhappy-296809.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;smartphones, televisions, laptops&#60;/a&#62;). So watch this space to find out when it will be officially released in Asia!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;This new announcement also nicely coincides with Disney&#039;s anticipated (and also presumably family-friendly) new streaming device launch - we&#039;re definitely keeping our eyes peeled for that!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Sarah Khan&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Photo: Netflix Singapore&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;Read More:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/culture/entertainment/tv-and-movies/netflix-and-chil-dren-10-kids-shows-on-netflix-to-teach-them-something-new-297757.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;Netflix and Chil-dren: 10 Educational kids&#8217; shows worth watching on Netflix&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/parenting/family-matters/what-is-a-yes-day-284281.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;What is a &#8216;Yes Day&#8217;?: The new parenting trend dividing the Internet&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/parenting/parenting-tips/5-unhealthy-parenting-styles-to-ditch-293439.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;5 Unhealthy parenting styles to ditch in 2018, according to experts&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/my/parenting-my/parenting-tips-my/heads-up-parents-youll-love-netflixs-new-parental-control-updates-304312.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/my/parenting-my/parenting-tips-my/heads-up-parents-youll-love-netflixs-new-parental-control-updates-304312.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>

Breast pumping at work is an issue that many women face upon return. Clarissa Lim, 29, and a working mother of a ten-month-old at our Marie France Asia office, started pumping while still at home to get used to doing it and to get her baby used to it. She says that it requires &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.mariefranceasia.com/lifelove/coaching-lifelove/psychology/10-tips-better-organisation-124331.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;organisation and time&#60;/a&#62;, but she is glad she&#039;s doing it&#60;em&#62;. &#34;I have friends who have been scared to go back to work, because they know it is going to make it harder to finish their work, but you really need to maximise your working time,&#34;&#60;/em&#62; she adds.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;It&#8217;s never easy being the one to pump in the office, especially if nobody else is doing it.

The findings, published in the &#60;em&#62;Emotion&#60;/em&#62; journal, claims that teenagers who do any of these things for over 40 hours per week, reported the most negative effects.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;They also found that &#60;strong&#62;teenagers who had 5 hours of screen-time a day were twice as likely to be unhappy compared to those with only 1 hour of usage per day.&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;And no surprises here; researchers said that teens who socialised in person more (and less so online), were the &#039;happiest&#039; by far. When defining about &#039;happiness&#039;, factors like self-esteem and life satisfaction are taken into account as a gauge.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Although less screen time was beneficial, those who recorded no screen time at all were even more unhappy in fact, proving a healthy balance is always best.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;These findings come at a time when we are gaining increased knowledge on the effects of social media on &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/my/parenting-my/family-matters-my/parents-addicted-smartphone-harm-kids-224946.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;depression and anxiety.&#60;/a&#62; These issues are something many &#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/my/parenting-my/parenting-tips-my/parenting-habits-avoid-219287.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;parents&#60;/a&#62; are concerned about, and struggle to tackle.&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Getting your kids to get this balance right can be difficult, especially when everyone seems to be on their phones 24/7, so here are &#60;strong&#62;a few tips to get your teens on the right track&#60;/strong&#62;!&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;Shelina Assomull&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;Photos: Pixabay/ Unsplash&#60;/p&#62; &#60;h2&#62; &#60;span&#62;Read More:&#60;/span&#62; &#60;/h2&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/my/parenting-my/family-matters-my/what-is-a-yes-day-284497.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown&#34;&#62;What is a &#8216;Yes Day&#8217;?: The new parenting trend dividing the Internet&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/my/parenting-my/parenting-tips-my/5-unhealthy-parenting-styles-to-ditch-293503.html?utm_source=rss_feed&#38;#038;utm_medium=link&#38;#038;utm_campaign=unknown#item=1&#34;&#62;5 Unhealthy parenting styles to ditch in 2018, according to experts&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62; &#60;meta name=&#34;original-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/my/parenting-my/parenting-tips-my/new-study-smartphone-addiction-makes-teenagers-unhappy-296996.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;syndication-source&#34; content=&#34;https://www.mariefranceasia.com/my/parenting-my/parenting-tips-my/new-study-smartphone-addiction-makes-teenagers-unhappy-296996.html&#34; /&#62;&#60;meta name=&#34;robots&#34; content=&#34;noindex, follow&#34; /&#62;]]></content:encoded>
