Bonding with Children

Research indicates that bonding with children in their early years of life, provides a greater chance for a healthy development.  Children’s relationships with consistent, caring, and loving parents or adults is associated with a better academic achievement, healthier behavior, positive interaction and increased ability to cope with stress.  So in order to enhance that bonding relationship with children, we need to keep in mind the following aspects;

1.     Be respectful to children. Talk gently, friendly and politely

2.     Be caring;     Care for the children’s cloths, food, toys, books and cleanliness  

3.     Be Loving;   Express our positive feelings. Appreciate their small successes in the form of hugs and kisses (most of the time). Buy them toys, games. And books as a reward (only sometimes)

4.     Be consistent in behavior;   Set limits for an acceptable behavior if children cross those, let them know that you did not like it or they are not supposed to do that. It’s important because, children need to learn to discipline themselves gradually because self discipline is critical from the beginning of their lives. 

If we follow these small rules, it will help children to develop in a very conducive and loving environment that will help us to bond us together.
