Parents who have small children should give their children more quality time and listen to them with empathy.
When children come to say something, parents should first listen carefully to the child, then respond.
There are many parents who do not want to listen to their child when children wanted to say something to them. Instead, parents would say they are very much busy with work or other excuses that's why they are unable to listen to their children properly. Then when the child complains and disturb parents continuously, the parents gets annoyed and scold children loudly and sometime spank the child.
Now, many people will say that, we shout with the child because the child don't listen to us. But excessive scolding has some negative effects on your child's life. For example, the child will become scared or he will become more aggressive than before. So you should listen to your children words with a little more patience and know his demand.
After that, if possible for you, fulfill his obligation, and if not possible, explain to him in his own way. By doing this, you will develop a good understanding relationship with your child and your child will become confident.
So give your child time to laugh, play with him. If the child does not find you as a playmate when he is young, after the child grows up, if he does not give you time...then who is responsible? Think about it.
So make time for your children in your busy schedule. Create a strong bond with the child. When you start showing effort to understand your child and value your child's like and dislikes, the children will also understand you and will be aware about your interest.
May the holy and sweet relationship between parents and children be blessed.
