Have you spoken to your child
It is needless to say that children are the biggest and the most beautiful gift God has to give human beings. The birth of a child brings innumerable blessings, happiness, and joy to the family, particularly parents. Children are like flowers. The more we water them, the more they flourish. Likewise, the more we ignore them, the quicker they will wither.
Of all the favors parents do for their children, giving them quality time and talking to them is the best thing a parent can do to them. Speaking to your child and conversing with them paves a way to a healthier and a much stronger parent-child relationship. So when was the last time you spoke with your child? When did you actually have a sitting with your child and have a friendly conversation with them? I hope it’s not too long ago. Because if this is so then its alarming for your relationship with them.
Our children need us more than we need them and they crave for our company and attention just like we crave for their company and attention when we grow older. So in order to have our children’s time, love, and respect later in our lives, we need to shower them first with our unconditional love, undivided attention, and immense care. And I believe the best way to do that is to lend them a listening ear and that would suffice them. So when does the communication with your child actually start? Right after you conceive them. Start speaking to your child right from the moment you know they exist in you.
When they are young, sit with them, listen to them, show interest to them and laugh with them. Trust me this would be the best time they would have in the whole day. Far too often we turn a blind eye to them, we show little or no interest to what they say or are heedless to their needs. Sometimes they want to share something with us or how their school activities are going or maybe how their day went, but all we do is just brush them off and leave them neglected and unattended.
Our approach towards them may have some disastrous effects on them. The main point I want to make is speak to them no matter what is it. Many a times they will repeatedly tell you the same story or sometimes they would sound ridiculous to you or sometimes they would make no sense to you, but just listen to them attentively and enthusiastically. Trust me, it will do wonders.
If your children are grown-ups or teenagers, then they would require more emotional and physical support from us. Be friends with them, create a amiable environment within your home so they feel no reluctance to share anything or tell anything. The more we will speak to them, the more they would get closer to us and thus more they will trust us. And what great could anything else be than this! So speaking is the key. The FUNDAMENTAL tool.
I would conclude my article by saying that if it’s been a while since you last spoke to them then it’s still not too late. Do it now. Better late than never.
