Part of their job as a parent is to guide their children and help them get on with their daily lives. This often means setting boundaries, correcting behaviors, rejecting requests, and telling them what to do, with no choice. But strengthening the relationship with children is much more than that.
Educating a child is much more than taking them down the path you think is most correct, generating positive interactions with him not only improves his education and emotional growth, but also facilitates educational work, although it may seem that what we are going to propose is not so important or is it a waste of time?
- You’ve certainly heard how important it is to hug your children.
- Virginia Satir says we need four hugs a day to survive.
- Eight hugs a day so we can continue and twelve hugs a day to grow up.
- And with this idea.
- Thousands of lines have been written.
But do hugs make up for the bad times we spend with our children?We can’t go wrong. Days are often filled with bad times with children, with negative interactions we can’t always avoid or control.
We all want to have intimate moments with our children, when our hearts mix. The connection is as essential for parents as it is for children. When our relationship is strong, it’s sweet too. This is the value of all the sacrifices made in the education of children.
This connection is also the only reason why children voluntarily follow our rules; children who feel strongly connected to their parents want to cooperate; when they trust us to understand, to be by their side, they are motivated to follow what we offer them.
But it’s not easy being a mother or father, it never was, but now, far from getting better, things get more complicated, as parents know that we have to spend time with our children, that we have to try to have quality moments with them. But does that make up for everything else? Yes, you can make up for it.
Research shows that we need at least five positive interactions for each negative interaction in order to maintain a healthy and happy relationship that can reveal conflicts and disorders of normal daily life. Balance is lost when positive interactions are lacking.
And when balance is lost, our children resist following our advice, following the rules we have set and accepting. When balance is lost, our children’s attitude changes.
But because we’re so busy with the amount of things we have to do, where can we take the time to make these positive interactions with them?To restore balance? It’s as simple as acquiring a number of habits and incorporating them into our daily routine.
There are many things you can do to strengthen your relationship with your children, the secret to making these positive interactions effective is that they are daily, so including this type of interaction in your daily routine has many advantages.
Better yet, with the ideas we can come up with, not only will you be able to catch up on the bad times, but you’ll also improve the day. By focusing on positive interactions, negative interactions will have less In addition, by creating such habits, your children will cooperate more, fight less, and try to follow their advice.
The key to strengthening the relationship with children is to foster positive interactions on a daily basis.
Janet Fackrell made a very apt reflection: “I look at their heads, gently tore, sleeping on their pillows, and sadness floods me. Did I immerse myself in their smiles and laughter, embrace them, or have I finished doing things in my day-to-day life?Are they growing that fast? I’ll wake up one day and one of my daughters will get married, and I’ll ask myself, have I played enough with her?Did I take the opportunity to be a part of your life?
Time flies. Very quickly. Don’t let it go without enjoying it and strengthen the relationship with your children.
