In giving and receiving love, dads are the first teachers. Are you ready to play a good role?
5 DEMONSTRATIONS OF LOVE FOR YOUR CHILD
Sometimes, like mom and dad, you don’t know how to express your feelings beyond a few typical ways: buying expensive gifts, paying excessive tuition, or dressing them in “brand” clothes. But it is not just a lack of imagination, it also suffers from an education that shows parents the appropriate ways to release maternal love in a healthy and enriching way. Here we leave you some ideas.
1. listen to it
Suspend what you are doing and pay attention to what your little one tells you. In addition to making him feel cared for, you will allow him to train his communication skills, which will boost his relationships in the future.
2. Read to him
There are many benefits for children whose parents read with them: they acquire more vocabulary, develop their imagination more and discuss one of the determining habits for good school performance: that of reading. But all those advantages with few compared to the emotional closeness that will occur between you every time you read.
3. Accompany it
Avoid skipping school events in which you have some participation; no presence will give you more confidence than yours to do its best.
4. Accept it
Don’t be tempted to demand from your little one that you see others. If you compare or rebuke him for not looking, acting, thinking or feeling like others, you will be denying him his right to be different, and you will make him feel inadequate, insecure and unhappy. Rather, help him discover his qualities and abilities as they flourish!
5. Complies
Promises that are not kept hurt the heart and destroy trust. On the other hand, those that do materialize build optimism and respect. If one day you offer something that you cannot give within a certain period, renegotiate this agreement so that your little one knows what happened and when he can count on what was promised. By giving you a new chance to keep your word, you will be setting an example of honesty, self-respect, and consideration for others.
The most important thing is that every day you let your child know how much you love him.
