Excellent Ways To Connect With Your Children

Learn About Them

Probably one of the easiest ways to connect with a child is to show an interest in their interests. Find out about their hobbies, friends, favorite things, and their dislikes. Learn about their culture and individual personality. Parents should keep in mind that they are a visitor in their child's culture and world, and should expect that they will not like everything their child likes and may think differently than they do. Simply, do not pretend to be exactly like them, as no parent is just like their child and vice versa. Try to create a judgment-free zone and have an open mind when it comes to learning about the child, as a parent will need to show acceptance in order to connect. If a parent is willing to learn, the child will certainly teach them.

Next, reveal the significance of being their parent and not just being their friend.
