Life with it's infinite distraction and constant separations , has a way of eroding connections. All parents need to repeatedly reconnect with their children, just to repair the daily erosion created by life's normal seperation and distractions. While our children are separated from us, they hold unto other things around them : their teacher, their peers, their computer, phones etc. Effective parenting is almost impossible until the positive connection with our child has been re-established. How can we achieve this?
📌 Place a premium on relationships in your family.
📌 Acknowledge relationships and separations.
📌 When you physically reconnect, consciously refocus your attention.
📌 Keep distractions to a minimum.
📌 Attune to your child's mood.
📌 Connect on their level.
📌 Everyone needs you and me time.
📌 Do repair work as necessary if you are not reconnecting with your child.
