Your child is a reflection of your behaviour. All that you teach during the initial years will ultimately get reflected in your child’s personality. If you want your child to be affectionate, you have to show the same feelings and actions while your child is growing. There is no replacement for a father’s love or a mother’s cuddle. Bringing in fancy toys doesn’t mean you have completed your duty as a parent. Time is the most valuable investment that you need to make; busy schedules and work commitments are no excuse for ignoring your child.
You have to make time because family time is important for the following reasons:
●
Builds self-confidence and self-esteem: When you play together with your child you come
to know about his/her strengths and weaknesses. You can then guide them
accordingly. This fosters better communication which infuses confidence in the
child that there is someone to lend an ear to when issues arise.
●
Enhances communication: Children love to tell stories and listen to
your experiences. When you spend time with your children there are many things
that pop up in conversation
which build a strong bond of love and understanding.
●
Improves mental health and social skills: Parents who spend family time with kids can
see a noticeable difference
in the child’s mental health and his/her social etiquette.
●
Makes a child feel pampered: Children love to get pampered and spending time
with them is a means of showing how much you love them.
●
Builds family ties: The bond between family members strengthens if they spend
time together.
