Don’t always play with your phone in front of your kids, you know why?

I believe that many parents can no longer live without their cell phones, whether it’s after work or while parenting, they always glance at their phones from time to time. Especially when you are with your children, but this is not really being with your children! Don’t think that you look at the phone while sitting next to the child is to be with the child! Do not think that you open the computer to play, mouth to urge the child, is to control the child. American psychologists found that: a person can achieve success, 20% depends on the acquired efforts, 80% depends on the father to teach. As the “important person” in a child’s life, the same words of affirmation, if spoken by the father, will have 50 times the influence on the child than the mother. The mother’s influence on the child is the child’s ability to become an independent person, while the father is shaping the child’s view of life and the formation of personality. Who is more important in home education, the father or the mother? The answer is that both are important. A harmonious relationship with one’s mother will influence whether the child will have a happy marriage in the future; a harmonious relationship with the father will influence whether the child will have a successful career in the future. Building a close parent-child relationship with your child requires daily accumulation, not overnight. A high quality relationship requires 15 minutes of dedicated time with your child every day. High-quality companionship means that when the father or mother is with the child, he or she is wholeheartedly interacting with the child, without distractions, without thinking about work, without thinking about stress, although all of these exist. It can be reading a story with your child, playing a game or a ball game with your child, listening to music and singing together. It can be sitting on the beach with your child listening to the sound of the waves and explaining about nature. It can be climbing a mountain with your child, sitting on the ground with your child and studying nature, observing small animals, flowers, grass and trees. It can be non-judgmental, no accusations, no belittling, no blows, no interruptions; just very simple, very appreciative, very focused, very happy, quietly listening to the child. In the process of listening, parents can have is: um, oh, wow, yes oh, then what? What else? What’s next? etc. In the process of being with the child, there should be as much physical contact as possible: patting the child’s shoulder, touching the child’s head, putting the child’s hand in their own, hugging the child, and so on. Also, a very appreciative look is important. There are many more ways, and the key thing is: whether you are – in that moment as a parent – fully present. Not much, just 15 minutes a day! The thing about this “profession” of parenting is that it requires the most training but lacks it the most! Maybe you have a successful career, but the success of your career can not make up for the failure of home education. Regardless of children, children are not the mother’s alone, children’s growth and education, you only have one chance, do not miss!
