Effective ways to show your child that they are the best and special

in hive-120412 •  4 years ago 

Everyone is familiar with the fact that babies love to be cared for and fondled, while showing their parental love and affection. However, slightly older children may be embarrassed by this type of attention. How can you show your children that you love them?

When your child was still young, you could tell him that he was so special many times every day. You could admire your baby when you fed him, bathed him, sang him lullabies. And now that your child has grown a little and became even more independent, it became more difficult to tell him how much he means to you. Luckily for us, there are so many ways to make your little one feel special, no matter their age. For example, here are a few of them:

You can help your own child become aware of the traits that make him special. It is suggested that some parents be sure to remind their own child of such qualities as courage, creativity, honesty. At the same time, there is no need to dump all the praises in one heap and use them out of place. Any praise must be deserved. Dr. Robert Currie also reminds you not to prolong your admiration for your child too much. Just a small phrase is enough to make the child feel good.

Do not skimp on praise, but remember that every praise must be deserved and to the point. It is advised parents to be very specific. For example, if your kid has drawn something, express to him what you really think at that moment: "Well done, you chose beautiful colors and paints" or "Good girl, you have a very original view of the world." Your child will like the sincere praise of mom or dad more than the more beautiful one, as it seems to you, but invented for a catchphrase.

Talk to your children about things that really make sense and value to them. Parents can help their children feel important and important if parents are genuinely interested in what their children are trying to say. Take an interest in any news that your offspring wants to tell you from the bottom of your heart: about your friends, about what is happening at school ...

It is necessary to take into account the unique biorhythms of your child's body and his innate temperament. Instead of trying to change the biorhythms of your early morning child, or make an introverted child more sociable and not withdrawn, accept and love your baby as he was from birth. After all, you yourself probably also want to be loved by everyone for who you are, and no less!

Spend as much time with your baby as possible! If you have more than one child, try to find free time to give some attention to each of the children. For example, take one child with you to the store. It might be even better if you can hire a nanny who will stay with the other children while you go with one child, say, to a movie. Thus, each of your children will spend "golden" hours alone with their parents. When a child is alone with his parents, it gives him the opportunity to understand that he is special and needed by his parents.

Try to arrange regular holidays for your children. There is no need to expect significant events or big dates, but you can simply arrange a small celebration of every positive moment in the child's life: a great grade at school, a well-decorated room or even an apartment, and the like, as Brian Nichols advises.

Let your little one realize that you will always be there when everything is fine and when something goes wrong. Make an effort to do whatever is required of you to help your child get through your common dark streaks in life. Trust in your child and encourage them when they feel bad.

Laugh, have fun and joke with your child! "Nothing in the world can pull together better than shared laughter and joy, It makes your child understand and feel that he has a special and important place in your heart.

Always share your inner experiences with your child. Tell your child, for example, how you quarreled, had a fight with a friend, or failed a driving test. In general, it is very important and necessary to admit your mistakes, especially if they concern your own child.

Remember that one of the most important tasks for parents is to persuade the child to feel special.

Excellent tips. I find that having that one-on-one time with each child goes a long way in strengthening our connection. With my older one, who is now a teen, we used to go on a dinner/movie date once per month (before Covid!), and now we sometimes go for a walk together or watch one of her favorite shows. My younger one always has fun ideas of how to spend her one-on-one time with me, from skateboarding to "playing pranks" on other family members, haha! It can be tough to get that one-on-one time sometimes, but it's so worth it.
