How to build a stronger bond with your child?
Check out some tips that can help you in this process and strengthen the bond with your child:
1. Ask questions that are open
Open-ended questions are a strategic way to stimulate conversation and also boost your child's critical and creative thinking. You can use open questions right after a closed one, thus involving your child in a conversation and making him reflect on the questions asked.
2. It is very important that you learn to listen
It is very important that you listen carefully and attentively to your children. Knowing that their thoughts and feelings are heard is very endearing and makes children feel good and comfortable. Learn to listen to them from a young age, as this practice will facilitate your contact with them in adolescence and will be an essential tool for solving problems in a peaceful way.
3. Validate your child's feelings
Many parents end up invalidating their children's feelings, using the argument that "they are just children and have nothing to really worry about". This invalidation ends up distancing and making the child not feel comfortable opening up to their parents. It is very important that you show yourself to be trustworthy and concerned about his feelings, in addition to taking advantage of the cue, to guide him in the best possible way. Create a circle of feelings by asking questions and sharing answers.
