Children like to have clear expectations and they also like to have limitations to keep them out of trouble. Often, being heard is the main thing that children are looking for. If you take the time to let your children feel heard, they will develop a sense of self worth and value. You do not have to agree with your child's point of view on every topic, but just giving them a chance to speak and have their point of view valued is the key. Find time to play with you children and enjoy them.
Childhood lasts such a short time and then it is over.
Do not rush children to be little adults, but rather let them enjoy running, throwing and just being a child. Make an effort to find some time in your day to have fun with your family. Laughter is the healer of many pains and also the reliever of much stress. Laugh together, pretend and have a good time. Enjoy this wonderful spring.
