Small Efforts That Have Huge Impact On Parent Child Relationship by:Sudha Gupta

We often don't give importance to minor things thinking they won't matter

. But at times, some things look very minor but their outcome can be really powerful. Here are some of the efforts which can alter the equation between you and your child.

Pat your child when he loses: May it be failure in the class, or on the field, speak words of encouragement to your child .The trust and confidence in your relationship will go to another level. After all, words of encouragement during failure are more valuable than words of praise after success.

Give him importance, like a member of the family: Hang his painting in your room or in the office, when you call his friends ask him what should be the menu, take his opinion when you are buying stuff for the house et al. Your child's self esteem will become so strong that he'll surely be a winner throughout.

Share your own experience when your child makes a mistake: When you see your child lying or stealing, or fall to any temptations, share with him the mistakes you made in your life. He'll know it is all right to make mistakes and that he can share with you anything.

Appreciate at least one quality in your child everyday: Each day look at what qualities your child possesses and appreciate him, may be for his caring attitude, his dance skills, or his observation power. Praise genuinely and do tell him exactly what and why you are appreciating. Tell him how proud you are of him because of those qualities. You may make small cards to show your appreciation or put up a chart where each star symbolizes appreciation.

Become his age before bedtime: Jump on the bed, have pillow fights, act silly, crack silly jokes, dance - become a child with your child for sometime. You'll forget all your day's stress.
