TITLE: Kourtney Kardashian Describes Faux Wedding to Barker as ‘the Best Night of My Life I Don’t Remember’
Date: 11 April
LOS ANGELES – In a surprising turn of events, reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian has described her faux wedding to musician Travis Barker as “the best night of my life I don’t remember.” The couple, who have recently been making headlines with their high-profile romance, had a pretend wedding that Kardashian insists was intended to be “real” if not for the absence of a marriage license.
The revelation came during an interview where Kourtney’s sister, Kim Kardashian, discussed the upcoming Hulu series “The Kardashians.” Kim promised that the show would feature more in-depth individual storylines, teasing fans with the promise of even juicier details from the Kardashian clan.
While fans eagerly await the latest developments in the Kardashian saga, another major event has taken place in the family. Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker have welcomed their baby, which is expected to spark discussions about attachment parenting once again.
Kardashian, a vocal advocate of attachment parenting, has been practicing this parenting style with her previous children from her relationship with Scott Disick. Aged 44, Kardashian shares three children with Disick: Mason, 13; Penelope, 11; and Reign, 8.
In an interview with Vogue in October, Kardashian discussed her commitment to attachment parenting, stating that she and her children remained housebound for the first 40 days after their births. She explained that this approach helped establish a strong bond between herself and her children, emphasizing the emotional connection she cherishes.
Attachment parenting, as Kardashian practices it, emphasizes physical closeness between parents and children, with a focus on responsiveness to the child’s needs. This parenting style aims to provide children with a sense of security and confidence in their relationship with their parents.
The concept of attachment parenting stems from attachment theory, which suggests that individuals who do not have secure attachments during their early life may face difficulties building healthy relationships later on.
While attachment parenting involves practices such as baby-wearing and breastfeeding to promote closeness, it is important to note that not all attachment parents engage in bed-sharing or co-sleeping. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises against sharing a bed with an infant due to the increased risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
Interestingly, attachment parenting is just one of several parenting styles. Other styles include lawnmower parenting, helicopter parenting, and elephant parenting. Each of these styles emphasizes different approaches and priorities in raising children.
Lawnmower parents are known for removing obstacles and minimizing discomfort for their children, while helicopter parents tend to hover and control their child’s environment to ensure their safety. Elephant parents prioritize emotional security and connection, encouraging their children regardless of academic or athletic achievements.
On the other hand, free-range parents value independence and self-reliance in their children, allowing them to explore activities or travel alone. However, this approach has faced criticism due to concerns about safety and the potential risks involved.
With such a wide range of parenting styles, it begs the question: What type of parent are you? Are you an attachment parent, a lawnmower parent, a helicopter parent, an elephant parent, or a free-range parent?
As the Kardashian family continues to captivate audiences, it remains to be seen how their parenting styles and personal lives will be further unveiled in the eagerly anticipated Hulu series. For now, fans can enjoy the whirlwind romance of Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, along with the arrival of their new baby.
