The Importance of Connection with Children
Establishing a strong emotional bond with children is vital as they grow and become more independent. Parents often struggle to maintain this connection when children begin to focus on their own lives and friendships, leading to less communication. Leading the connection is essential; parents must actively engage with their kids rather than waiting for them to initiate discussion. Approaching conversations with specific questions, rather than generalized ones, can create deeper connections and facilitate meaningful dialogue.
