    Well put. There are people out there who want the attention from even those of the opposite sex, but with no seriousness to it, they just want the attention and admiration. It mainly comes from low self esteem and a lack of socializing in the past with the very same type of people that they're trying to get the attention from.

    This video is adressed to mainly children, but i think the topic is very generalized. It can be about anybody at any age and for whatever circumstances.

    Father God, thank you for this message. In accordance with this message I pray and bind to grow to bend inappropriate attention seeking behavior into something positive in the classroom, while binding myself, my family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, acquintances, opponents and the body of Christ freed of all inappropriate attention seeking behavior while binding one to seek attention in a positive way and binding to hell all inappropriate attention-seeking behavior, binding to hell being unequally yoked with and have any common share with those who seek attention in a negative way, in accordance with ephesians 4:23, 2 corinthians 6:14-18 in the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen and hallelujah!

  • @thisvocaljourney
    @thisvocaljourney Před 2 lety +1

    But what if your kid gets all the attention she wants, with a mother who will go to the ends of the earth for her, but when you start to hold her accountable for her wrong doing, she runs away… 3 minutes up the street because you took her laptop, phone, tv and shut down her social media she wasn’t even supposed to have because of risky behavior like talking to ppl in different states and putting her life at risk…. She gets all the attention she can ask for. Movie date night, rewarded when she does good, cooking n baking cakes together, going to parks and taking silly pics…. Doesn’t sound like a kid deprived of attention, the minute you hold her accountable, she acts out…. She also acts out the things she sees on tv, thinking it will work in real life…. What is this about?

  • @davidsoto4394
    @davidsoto4394 Před 3 lety +1

    Just ignore. If the behavior is from a child, you should put them in timeout facing the wall so they are not getting any attention from the unacceptable behavior. If the behavior is from a teenager or adult you can just ignore the person.

    • @ynattirbarreug3909
      @ynattirbarreug3909 Před 2 lety +1

      ignorance isnt always key though, I am of the age of a teenager and I can certainly say ignoring the person in any way can have the opposite effect of what you want and cause mental harm and worsen the situation

    not true with my 4 year old. He gets plenty of attention. He does art projects with both his mother and I. We play legos. We have movie nights. We have game nights. He goes to swimming lessons (this is one area where he's super hyper focused and is super into it). You would think this would exhaust him... nope not for a minute. He'll come home and jump on the trampoline and run circles around the yard and then he'll chase the dog.
    He's in preschool with some wonderful teachers trying to help us get a handle on it.
    My son can't seem to control his impulses... he shakes his body and makes loud "impact" kind of "fighting" noises like he's batman or something. His phone/tablet use has been cut way down and the types of shows he watches no longer include any hitting. When he does watch on the phone he watches people build things in minecraft. I asked doctors about Tourette's and they say nope.
    His teachers try active ignoring... not rewarding him for his behaviors... they're amazing people but they can't figure out why he is sooooo hungry for attention. Even if you just gave him plenty it's like he has withdrawals. He'd rather get in trouble than sit still and let you do the dishes.
    I'm just not sure where to go with this. Doctors have seen him and say there's no way he's spectrum. Possibly ADHD but they say he's more just hyperactive. He just doesn't quite fit that mold either.
    We've tried every type of discipline you can imagine but everyone has a different opinion on discipline and you offend half the room when you say you tried this or that...the other half applauds you. It's maddening where you can't even get advice from a group of parents without half of them getting mad at each other.
    We're lost and don't know where to go with this. Any advice?
    Thank you... Chris and Ivette

      My son had very similr issues and still has A little ,and for me it was that I was not really admiring his nature and complimenting enough on every little details , I felt like I did everything and I did spent a lot time with him but I wasn’t speaking enough his language he wanted me to join him In his sillyness , and wildness , like join his world and be dramatic together play sports , cuddle him a lot more ,join his video games ,I do believe he needs more attention then the average kid and it’s draining so it’s good to have a partner to give u a break. I gained certain respect for him since reading about his type he’s isfp/esfp (defiantly a Sp temperament ) which if your interested you can checkout the book please understand me 2. Also the website personality hacker helped me a ton an offers coaches that give amazing advice personalized for ur child’s type .. it was life changing for me and my child .i also noticed the more I became confident and healthy it had a positive effect on my child , we also reflect every night on the day and I draw him pictures of many positive things he’s done and he loves it and has a big effect ,I can draw stuff as little as -he turned off the bathroom light, closed the door, and he guesses what the picture means .good luck

      The part where you said about turning away and ignoring him, not rewarding him for his behavior or so (I think u said that😅) reminds me what pet trainers would do to dogs that misbehave. Honestly I'd say leave him be, he's 4 right, 7 now?? Maybe continue with your way of discipline though. The situation may change as he grows up, I mean I was a social energetic butterfly when I was younger but now I'm just someone who cowers away and want nothing to do with humanity, then again this isnt about me. If it doesnt change however or gets worse, I recommend a certain type of therapist (I dont know the certain type because I dont know all the types of therapists off the top of my head ._ . ) Now..I'm not a professional, or a parent, or hec even anyone who has even had some sort of experience with a child so please dont exactly take all what I said seriously, except maybe the therapist part. Sorry if I couldnt be of any help, hope everything goes well for you!

      @@ynattirbarreug3909 he's 8 now and we've come a long way. We kept up with the active ignoring strategy and it worked for the most part. But I think the largest gains he's made are due to maturity. He is still quite attention hungry but he's far more content to sit and play by himself now when he's got something he's really into. It's just one of those things I guess. He'll grow out of it more and more and we'll just have to continue to demonstrate good behaviors. He's changed from a very hateful boy into a very thoughtful and caring boy. We just have to stay the course.

It is an awesome one of a kind guide for becoming an excellent parent without the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my friend Sam after a lifetime of fighting got cool results with it.

  • @bobjones3573
    @bobjones3573 Před 27 dny

    It's a behavioural characteristic isn't it. a display of a certain behaviour. A very obvious display. A person spending an obsessive amount of time online on social platforms documenting every aspect of their lives, is attention seeking or seeking online approval. A person spending the day laying in bed reading a book and dozing the afternoon away, content with their own thoughts and company without jumping online constantly checking for replies or reactions to comments. There is no display of attention seeking, the person is quite content with simply relaxing. Every single person with a social media account is an attention seeker, that's what social media is by literal design. Whether you're attracting attention to yourself or a product or business idea, you are by definition seeking attention. Individual attention seeking is also associated with other disorders such as megalomania or narcissism where an individual thinks they are mightier than everybody else and demands attention to the point where they try and control and manipulate others for their own benefit. Don't do it that way, do it this way, your way is wrong do it my way sort of scenario. Constant relentless obsessive behaviour trying to influence others, they know best. The world is entirely about them. It's the obsessive need for recognition and approval from others that dictates attention seeking, publishing every little aspect of your life for others to comment on. You could have the most active live ever, travel to twenty countries a year but the pictures and memories are kept private for yourself and your family to reflect on, not published all over social media. One is attention seeking one is not.

    This is horrible advice. It doesn't address the problem with some kids who never get enough attention and always seek it through negative behaviors. Just giving those kids your attention doesn't solve the underlying problem that's driving them to continually seek out negative attention from adults and others.
