Tips to Improve your Relationship with Kids
- Wake your kid 10-15 minutes early in the morning if not much. This will give you at-least some time to spend with each other.
- You can drop your kid at the gate to see them off if leave office after the kids.
- You can call your kids once they are back from school, or can ask them to call you once they are done with clothes and food.
- You can talk about the things happened in the school or the things have been asked in the school or the homework given by the teacher.
- You can also ask them if they feel any difficulty in homework or need any help.
- Also, ask them to write or imagine something about a particular topic of their choice. Every child has a born talent and, it’s your responsibility to find it out and help if blossom.
- Parents often think that taking kids outside and have dinner and lunch outside can strengthen the relationship. But this is not true as kids want your time and if you are staying at home and talking together and enjoying then that is more than enough.
- Never lie with your kids and try to present a clear picture in front of them as much as possible.
- Inhibit the habit of doing little household chores themselves, as this will make them more responsible and cut your burden. Try to cultivate the feeling of self-dependence in them.
- Present them a situation and ask if they were in that situation and what they would have done then. Also, involve them in little financial discussion and aware them with the financial terms like credit card, debit card, currency, loans etc.
- Always ask them to give respect to the elders and love to the young ones. They will feel good for you and will be thankful in the life.
