Stay connected and engaged with your children from "summary" of THE DAILY DAD by RYAN HOLIDAY
Being present with your children is one of the most important things you can do as a parent. It means more than just physically being in the same room as them; it means actively engaging with them, listening to them, and showing them that you care. When you are connected and engaged with your children, you are building a strong foundation for your relationship with them. One way to stay connected and engaged with your children is to spend quality time with them. This could mean playing games together, going for a walk, or simply sitting down and having a conversation. By setting aside time to be with your children, you are showing them that they are important to you and that you value your relationship with them. Another important aspect of staying connected and engaged with your children is to be a good listener. When your children talk to you, really listen to what they are saying. Show them that you are interested in what they have to say by asking questions and engaging in the conversation. By listening to your children, you are validating their feelings and thoughts, and showing them that you respect them. It is also important to be present in your children's lives. This means being there for them when they need you, whether it's to help them with homework, listen to their problems, or celebrate their successes. By being present in your children's lives, you are showing them that you are there for them no matter what. In today's fast-paced world, it can be easy to get caught up in the busyness of life and forget to connect with our children. However, by making a conscious effort to stay connected and engaged with them, we are not only strengthening our relationship with them, but also setting a positive example for them to follow in their own relationships. So take the time to be present, listen, and engage with your children – the rewards will be immeasurable.
