The time parents spend with their children are priceless moments for families. It is necessary for both parents and children that the parent-child relationship is strong. The more beautiful and stronger the family relationships are, the more a language containing mutual love and respect is formed and the family bonds are strengthened to an unbreakable level.
Children of families who can communicate effectively with their children cooperate with their parents and contact their families in all kinds of positive and negative situations. It would be unreasonable to expect the cooperation that children will establish to be at an adult level, showing trust in children by expecting them to exhibit behaviors appropriate to the child level, both enables children to have self-confidence and raises children who approve and take into account what parents say.
There are some responsibilities and methods that families can use for their children so that the parent-child relationship foundations are solid, the relationship is strengthened and can progress healthily.
Hug a Lot
Hugging children in the mornings and evenings, showing them that you need to hug, stroking the child's back, stroking their hair, sitting side by side by taking them under your arm are the simplest and strongest steps taken for the parent-child relationship to be strong. Although children in adolescence may show a rejecting attitude towards this effort, adjusting the attitude range or hugging rate according to the children's ages will always be effective.
Play Games
Playing games with children, performing activities that will secrete the happiness hormone will always make children feel close to their parents. Doing activities that will make children happy together from time to time will help children contact you to be happy in moments when they are unhappy and share the topics they feel unhappy about with you.
Listen
The parent-child relationship will become even tighter by using a healthy communication path. Talking to children, listening to what they say with all ears, showing that you understand and not opposing what they say with definite expressions will enable the child to speak more comfortably in front of parents and share problems with parents without hesitation when there is a problem.
Spend Quality Time
Many parents say that they work all day, get tired, and prefer to rest instead of spending time with their children when they come home. The fact that parents are tired all day should not cause children's need for love to be postponed. Sitting in the same room with children in the evenings does not mean spending time with them. For a strong relationship, a healthy and loving parent-child relationship, quality time should be spent with children, activities that can be done together should be determined and time should be allocated to them. In the simplest form, you can cook together, pop corn and watch movies, play board games or go for a walk. Children need things that will make them feel happy with their families, not big and interesting things.
