Relationships with parents
Though there may be books and classes which can tell you how to be good parents, all children need to develop relationships with parents are time. Time spent with children is the only key for strengthening the bond among relations. You need to ask certain questions like what do you know about your parents and do you really miss those ball games or you like coming to an empty home or wait for your mother to serve you tea?
If you think about the past and some memories of childhood, you will remember or thing, presence or absence of your parents. Parents took the time from work those days and family spends time with children. It's nice when they say 'I care for you.'
You need to know how to find time for children. You have just 24 hours to spend each day. You need to know and prioritize your time with your children. At times, children used to go with their father or mother when they go to office as this helps them spend time with their parents. At times parents tag along with children when they go to day care school. The children are placed in a 'safe closet'. When kids grow older, they have no inclination to spend time with parents. At school, children are taught to work and do recreational activities. Relationship is built only on the basis of time. You can think about how you and your spouse met and how you spent time with them. Time and communication is the key to any relation. You need time to know each other and let people know that you care for each other. You need to share your feelings and emotions and make the bond stronger.
The Toolbox
This is a simple but an effective goal to get started with. You can start by writing some activities which you can practice with your children. You need to make sure that the games you play with them are enjoyed by the children. You need to do this on a routine basis to develop the relationship.
Everyday Time
You need to find time to make time for your children. You can make time before children leave for school or after they come back. You can visit and surprise them during lunch time and make them happy. You can also take some time before the bed time by telling some stories and putting them to sleep. You can also give a special treat to your children and spend time with them.
Get Down and Dirty
You can get down and dirty with your children and thus get into their own world. You can lead them during their playtime. If they want to slop in the mud put on your boots, you need to do the same.
