Have you ever wondered what your little ones are thinking about?
How will they do their first day at school?
Will they make friends & be happy?
Will they miss you?
Family play a very important role in helping children to understand and manage emotions, develop resilience & communication skills & also build healthy relationships. #parenting This may sound more frightening than it is. We are not expected to be perfect (who is?). We just need to build a solid loving relationship with our children where they feel secure, loved & accepted. Teaching them the basic fundamentals of kindness, sharing, patience & having boundaries will go along way to making them into decent adults.
Children are like sponges, they soak up all that we say & do. Has your child ever repeated something you said & you wished the ground would swallow you up? Children watch & listen to our interaction with people. To teach them the basic fundamentals of life we also need to carry them out in our daily lives. Seeing your child being gentle & kind can give us a warm feeling inside. Give yourself a tap on the back because this is a virtue you have given them. Raising children is not a walk in the park, there are many pitfalls ahead. They will make mistakes, as we all did (&still do), but it is a learning experience. Just be there with open arms & a listening ear. Communication can solve many problems, so good luck & enjoy #love #bekind
