Children grow up so fast that their development often proceeds with little or no help from their parents. But in order for children to respect their elders and not forget about them, you need to spend more time with them and take an active part in upbringing. There are certain techniques that allow you to be closer to children.
Instructions
Step 1
Take your child for a walk every day. Even if you are very busy, it is advisable to go for a walk with the whole family at least once a week, and let this become your little ritual, which will undoubtedly give its results. Go to a pizzeria or candy store. This is an ideal opportunity to talk openly and play with your child, who will be able to have a good rest.
Step 2
Relax with the whole family in nature. Organize a picnic in a spacious meadow and play outdoor games with your child. If the children are old enough, you can organize a bike ride to the nearest village. Don't forget to take your camera and immortalize all the happy moments of your trip.
Step 3
Watch movies and cartoons with your child. Let him feel that you have similar interests. This will help you be closer to your children and always be aware of their little secrets, which they will gladly share with loving parents.
Step 4
Tell stories from your youth. Children love interesting stories, especially if they involve people and objects they know. Depending on the age of the child, tell him an interesting or funny story from your childhood or adolescence from which you can learn a lesson.
Step 5
Monitor your appearance with your child. In the morning, you can do your daughter's or son's hair, brush your teeth, and choose outfits together. This will build trust between you and your children, and will also teach your children to practice good habits.
Step 6
Exchange more often SMS-messages. If the children are quite old and allowed to have a mobile phone, send them messages from time to time. It is a very fun and modern way to communicate. But don't overdo it with motherly love and concern in your messages.
Step 7
Listen to music with your kids. At an older age, children and, of course, teenagers love to listen to music. Try to find out what their favorite style, artists, bands are. Invite each of you to make a list of your favorite songs and exchange them. You can suggest popular music from past years, and in return get a list of contemporary compositions. Thus, it will help you to be closer to the children and their inner world, and the child, in turn, will also feel a kindred spirit in you.
