kids don't know they're attention-seeking.
they're just doing what comes naturally.

Humans are always learning but children in particular take their cues from the adults around them, and an important need for humans is affection. As they grow and learn, children naturally want to display behaviours similar to the adults. They are working more for our affection than attention. Even some adults work overtime to gain other adult's attention/affection.
To answer your question, I believe (and this is just my opinion) that they are driven by their need to feel loved and for approval. When they get enough of it, they won't crave it so much.

we all crave attention, not only children. children just have a different approach then adults. but giving children attention shows them love and different tools in life. working together, problem solving, etc.

It's natural for a child to want attention, they have attention from the moment they are born and they will continue throughout their lives needing attention of some sort.

You need to understand attachment theory. Every puppy and child has to have at least one secure attachments and believe it or not this can be to a building. A puppy or a child who craves attention is demonstrating a need. There is an insecure need not being met and the child is demonstrating that need. Pups are the same.

Well, for one their human. I'm 21.5 and i crave adult attention...lol. It's only natural. Parents are the ones who take care of their children, this is why. My mother took care of me not my brother that's why i craved her attention, she's my mommy.

Yes children crave attention so do idiots on the web who ask silly questions.
Seriously though, they see it as a form of love.

Becouse they are kids. they always will. It can be bad attention or good attention. picking on brothers or kids at school that is bad attention. But just wanting to be with you that is just wanting attention.
