Summary: The article is about how a parent can build a deep connection with their children/child.
Once you become a parent, you will be responsible for a full time job. It is one’s job which requires you to put in your whole heart.
Children as a whole are easy going; it is we parents that feel the child has to do this and that. As parents we have got to loosen up. You have to walk hand in hand with your child in order to connect to them. You must remember that the child is not your ownership for you to dictate and to command. The child is there for a reason beyond our understanding. Once you can see this clearly, you will be able to connect better with your child, this leads to a peaceful home.
Children are very susceptible to their environment. You have to ensure that you have a nurturing surrounding. Parents should sit and spend time with the child from the very beginning itself. That is where the connections are built. A child has very sensitive skin and is able to sense the softness and tenderness of your touch. Children on a whole have skin that can sense your touch and caressing. They know that the parent is present with them. This touch develops a trusting bond between child and parent. This is where the child feels love.
Do not bring the world’s problems back home. Once you are in the house, leave your work out and come in as a parent. Children can sense when you are stressed out and they have learnt to cope with that.
It is us parents that tend to show our irritated feelings towards them. Take a conscious decision to leave your problems out. When I say conscious here, I mean with your heart and mind, make a decision to leave work at work and put the parent hat on when at home. When with your child, be with your child; why think about other things?
Constantly tell yourself that your child is watching what you are doing. They can feel the smallest change in their environment. When you talk to them or even when you sing to them, do it with your heart. They listen to the language of the heart and nothing else. In order to build a connection with your child, you need to speak the same language. You have to connect to them with your heart. What this means is doing things with your heart, listen to your heart, and follow it. That is the best way to build the connection.
