1, build a strong bond
Tell your children that you love them. No matter what emotions your children are going through, be sure to tell them that you love them. It's important for children to hear this. How often you say "I love you" depends on you, but sometimes it is important for your children to hear these words.
2. Set aside time for high-quality dialogue every day.
A good conversation time may be on the way to school, at breakfast or dinner, or before going to bed. When you chat, ask your children specific questions about their day, not general yes or no questions. Although you don't want to be interrupted, open-ended questions can help express your interest and start a conversation.
3. Develop family etiquette, such as enjoying food and going out on weekends.
Family rituals and practices can strengthen the bond between you and give your children a sense of stability. Try to have breakfast or dinner together every day, or eat as often as possible. On weekends, you can ride a bike or go hiking, or go to a ball game together.
4. Encourage your children to discuss difficult topics with you. It seems easier to avoid talking about complicated emotional and stressful events. However, if your children are dealing with emotional conflicts, such as being bullied or dying at home, please gently let them share their feelings with you.
