Kate Middleton's parenting ensures kids are 'valued, secure'

Kate Middleton has been lauded for parenting as she is said to be raising children that are "valued and secure".

In a video posted by Prince William and Kate on their Kensington Royal Instagram page, it showed them climbing sand dunes in a Norfolk beach with their children Prince George, seven, Princess Charlotte, five, and Prince Louis, three.

The children can be seen toasting marshmallows and well playing with them.

Author of 100 Ways Your Child Can Learn Through Play Georgina Durrant noted how the Duchess of Cambridge got down to the kids’ eye level when talking to them.

She told the Daily Mail: "This is a wonderful way of helping children to feel valued, listened to and secure.

"This could be referred to as Active Listening and it shows them that she is listening properly to what they are saying and she cares.

"As a parenting technique it can help children to feel confident in themselves and in talking about their feelings.

"It’s all about getting down to their level, giving eye contact (maybe a hug too) and stopping anything else you’re doing.'

She added that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge come across as "loving, caring, modern and present parents."

She added: "You can see by the way they are smiling, giggling and playing together with their children that they believe in the importance of play."
