Children are the same- yesterday, today and tomorrow. A point to ponder I would say.
We as kids remember being CARE-FREE. Without any worry or fear. Our environment was secure and we were in our comfort zones. We knew all the kids in the neighborhood and our parents knew each other. We didn’t know what violence meant and or kidnapping was. We climbed trees and played gully cricket with boys on the street. We didn’t know stress. All we knew was to have pure fun.
Some kids today are CARE-LESS – don’t care about the consequence of their actions. There is a lot of insecurity, peer pressures, expectations, fear…
Happy Homes make happy societies and happy societies make happy Nations. Happiness is where heart is and heart is where love is. And where is love?
Love is lost. Where and how? This is probably one question we must ask ourselves. Here are some bonding tips with children…
- Prioritize- Family first and all else can wait. Trust me if there is anything that is of any worth to you and it is meant for you, it will wait anyways.
- Schedule time out for family. You need to listen to your children and let them speak to you every day and tell you what is happening in their lives. If we listen close enough it would solve most potential and threatening problems that we may have to face later.
- Have family one meal together with your children. The family that eats together stays together.
- Family vacations are good bonding time with your children. Maybe even a “Dad and son day out” or “Mom and daughter day out” should work well. Sons open up to dad’s better and daughters to their moms. The same gender requirements are understood better.
- Teach them to love one another and respect other’s feelings.
It is just one small step that needs to start from home. And it can go a long way in making a beautiful place for our children.
LOVE CONQUERS ALL.
