According to Gabor Mate and Gordon Neufeld, authors of Hold On To Your Kids, your child needs this more than friends. Children need to reach a level of maturity before they can form strong friendships, and before they can do that, they need to form strong attachments with their parents during their formative childhood years and beyond.
In the new instalment in our Inspiring Dads video series, Centre for Fathering family life coach Parcsen Loke explains why it is important, and how a lack of this attachment can cause children to become more peer-oriented.

As children grow, their world enlarges and making friends becomes one of their most important missions. Friendships are good for a child’s self-esteem. A child with friends will definitely feel better about himself than one with no friends at all. It is normal for young children to have friends but there is something children need more than friends.
What do you think that is?

Emotional safety provides a buffer for members in a relationship to feel safe and secure enough to truly be themselves. In the parent-child relationship, children who feel a strong connection to their parents often feel emotionally safe as well. That gives them the confidence to take on challenges and strive to do their very best, safe in the knowledge that their parents have their back.
Here are some things you can do to foster your child's emotional safety.

It's been said that friends are the family we select; in addition to providing us with precious memories, they also provide us the unique feeling that, no matter what, there is someone who loves and cares for you not because they have to but because they think you're wonderful.
Furthermore, studies suggest that friendships in early life contribute to the growth and quality of relationships in later years as well as the development of social skills. Additionally, they have a favourable impact on students' academic performance at school and assist kids in acquiring a variety of crucial life skills that will benefit them throughout childhood and beyond.

Friendships are essential for boosting self-esteem and confidence as well as fending off bullying and harmful peer pressure. Making friends is simple for some children, but it might be difficult for some.
By having a discussion about what friendship is and what makes a good friend, parents can assist their children in learning the norms of friendship.
To get the conversation going, try asking these questions.

Having healthy friendships are important for good mental and physical health.
In the preschool years, friendships are helpful in developing social and emotional skills, increasing sense of belonging and aiding cognitive development.
At early childhood, young children start becoming attached to their friends, cultivating friendships that have positive influence in their overall development.
So, find ways to help our children develop relationship skills to build lasting, quality connections with others.

As kids grow up, the quest for independence grows and reaches its peak during adolescence. They want to carve their own identities and differentiate themselves from their parents.
Identity development in adolescents is a natural and healthy part of growing up. However, some of the behaviours associated with teen independence may be disturbing to parents and caregivers and may even cause tensions at home.
How do we strike a balance between letting our teens have their independence while ensuring that we stay connected?
Here are some ways.
