Childhood is the
most important phase of any living being’s life, even for animals. In human
lives, children learn, build and grow the most during childhood. The right
foundation set during this time can do wonders for the kids. Therefore it is
very important for parents to spend quality time with their children.
The busy schedule of
work or household should never become a source of negligence, after all, what
is it that you are earning for. Ambition should always come second to family.
Your children look up to you, want to talk to you, share their stories with
you. They need you to help them understand social behavior, the concept of
education and humanity, the importance of family and values and the virtue of a good character.
Having said all above, the importance of spending
quality time with your child can be well understood by below points:
- It helps them build a stronger sense of family and relationships. It helps them learn what value your loved ones bring in one’s life. It tells them very effortlessly that they are not alone and they have people who love them in their lives.
- It helps build their character. There are so many things that can be taught without a book in hand by some practical activities. Character develops gradually and parents play the major role in helping a child for that.
- It improves their self-image and confidence. They feel loved and content with the attention. Their time is cherished with good moments.
- It helps them learn etiquettes and good behavior. The young minds are very impressionable. They learn what they see. If in your home people behave properly then your child will learn the same.
- Most importantly it makes them happy, which is undoubtedly the best thing to happen to them.
There are many
things that you can do with your children like taking them to fairs and
concerts, planning a vacation with them, camping, help them learn swimming or
rafting, build tree houses with them, help them paint or cook, read them
stories, take them to a library or dance class. Become a child with them and
you will share their happiness!
