We often see it happening around us that when a child cries over something we offer him a chocolate or a thing then he dances with joy and forgets crying; why don’t we try something else. Something else as in just compassionately hear him out first. Show empathy show him that hearing to his emotions and problems means a lot to you. This will pass on a feeling of compassion to him and you both will learn to communicate efficiently.

Be a part of child’s every phases of his mood swings as he grows up. Appreciate him when he sings, dances, draws or plays. I know we have sung “jonny jonny yes papa” a thousand times when we were children back then, but it would give out immense pleasure and joy to your child to have you participate in his fiction world. It would be a nice thing to bond over.

3) Family outing in nature struck places (natural world):

We often take our children to a movie theatre, shopping malls, amusement parks or someplace to eat in a restaurant. Rather than doing all of this couldn’t it be better if we plan going to a country side place to explore mother nature, carry out tents, prepare home-made snacks and do a lot of activities with children. All of this will excite them since the time you start planning and while your way back home, they will thank you for such a wonderful time and reward you with a tight hug; I can bet.

4) Pamper with love instead of material things:

As we grow up, we get attracted to many materialistic things around us. We get drawn towards a flashy sale on garments, automobiles, gadgets and the unending list goes on but in the end what the matter of fact is that; does it replace our emotional needs that our heart needs? I assume many of you say a heartfelt ‘No’. It’s just the perception or an idea that we have pursued about happiness for our loved ones that material things gifted to our loved ones to pamper them makes them happy. I bet you; your child will be happier if you shower your love on him in hundreds other ways such as spending time with him, doing some activity together, laughing, singing playing, drawing together. All of this conveys your love towards him. Pen down some memorable moments with a picture of you both together for him to have it after he grows up. How memorable it would be!

5)Prioritize them over everything:
