Parenting is all about changing diapers, rushing through Monday morning with sticky glitter all over the kitchen table doing the science project, doors banging with revised late night deadlines. Whatever be the age, it's all about communication and spending time with your child while creating those special moments. What we fail to understand is that we need to lay the foundation for a healthy communicative relationship with our children! Listening to our children goes a long way in building what we share with them as young adults. We don't realize the fact that cherishing those little souls are as important as nourishing their bodies. While we talk about our children not listening to us, do we ever ask ourselves as parents if we are listening to our children when they talk or don't talk? Am sure we would answer in the affirmative if we were asked if we listened to our child's needs. But we need to stop right there and ponder. If we cherish the moments, their time, their joys, their tantrums, their tears right from the beginning, it develops to be healthy habit for both you as a parent and your child. Listen to their hearts. Communication - be it physical or verbal plays a big role in building a wonderful relation with your child.
Be your child's best friend. Where do you begin? Just think of a few questions that you would ask yourself. You are pretty sure who your child's best friend is but did you know that your child enjoys counting the water puddles while returning from school. Or do you know his favorite color is light green. Many parents discuss the day at school while serving up dinner but do we take time to discuss their doubts, queries, fears, reasoning, confusions? Emotional bonding is important and equally easy when we as parents take the effort.
We as parents tend to think our children will grow out of a problem and leave it to time to do its thing. But talk to your child and don't discourage discussing it with you. It will fuel thoughts of him not being an important person in your life. It's difficult for them to express when they are hurt, so you need to look for subtle indicators like being usually quite, not enjoying his favourite bowl of pasta. Put aside your laundry or doing the dishes for just a couple of minutes and ask them what's wrong. Show patience in allowing them to express themselves as it very often difficult for them. Don't try to finish their sentences or make judgements for them. Just sit and listen to them.
On acknowledging their feelings you are sending a positive and healthy message to them. It is the message of trust and security. You will realize how relieved your child is once he or she knows this. This feeling of getting connected with your children will give a sense of complete satisfaction.
So go and create your magical moments, cherished moments with them. You will realize how awesome, adorable and loveable your children truly are.
