The Power of Delightful Greetings

When parents see their children after some time apart, it is beneficial to prioritize delight rather than initiating conversation. Instead of bombarding them with questions, simply expressing joy can create a more inviting atmosphere for kids. This approach fosters a sense of ease, making children more likely to share their experiences without feeling pressured. Emphasizing a non-agenda driven greeting allows for a genuine connection, particularly with older children who may be less responsive.
