I am certain this is the best parenting advice you can get as a career parent.
Have you ever been at work and imagined you were
at home bonding with your kids? As a parent Have you wondered why whenever you
go back home from work you usually don't get that unending daddy welcome, daddy
welcome treats from your kids, with the kids jumping about and happy you are
back? What about whenever you try on a weekend to bond with them. You take them
to the play park, buys them gifts, and play with them, but instead, they prefer
the maid do these things with them. How do you feel about all these? I
understand.
We live in a society where the job we do and
people we work for don't care about our homes and families so they inundate our
everyday life with tasks and activities
leaving us care more about jobs and less about our Loved ones.
In this article, I intend to reveal how parents
can balance things out using some key principles of healthy parenting. As you
read on, you’ll realize, this article is one of the best pieces of parenting advice you
have found as a limited-time career parent.
When both parents need to be fully involved in raising the kids physically,
materially, emotional and psychologically as opposed to the traditional method
where father provides and mother
nurtures, then time has to be an invaluable requirement.
This article considers the busyness that comes with being a career parent, and as such outlines ways such parents can still bond with the kids in spite of the many busy schedules and time constraint.
Understanding how to fill up those spaces that only
parents should fill up in a child’s life will go a long way to help assuage THE DEADLIEST PARENTING MISTAKE MANY PARENTS ARE GUILTY OF.
The things I have outlined in this article to do
as a parent are absolutely convenient and require less time and are
really necessary for the best interest of the Kids.
1. AFFIRM AND MAKE A CALL.
This is the first task you begin the day with.
You affirm and you call. What do I mean?
As you wake up in the morning, no matter how
early you have to arrive to work, form the habit of affirming your family
first. Most times, only husbands and wives do this to each other. Now, that you really have
to bond with the kids, you have to give them as many affirmations as necessary.
As you wake up in the morning, let them
know you love them and that you are going to miss them. Surprise them with
gifts and don’t fail to keep to your promises.
Another thing you might want to do, is call home to speak with your kids. This is called, “ Tele Bonding.” Spending a great deal of time over the phone with your kids can create a very strong bonding. They will live each day anticipating your calls. Whenever they get sad, they’ll remember there is a soothing voice that always calls and makes them happy over the phone. Before long, they’ll be the ones calling and wanting to hear from you.
This is probably the most valued parenting advice for any career parent for a quick and strong parent-child-bonding.
2. LET THEM UNDRESS YOU
I know your partner always wants to be the one
to open the door, hug you, collect your briefcase and undress you after a long
day at work. But now that you have to bond with your kids, some of these might
just have to change. The kids have to be responsible for some of these daddy/mommy welcoming packages.
You might want to let your child take the
briefcase upstairs, take off your shoes and unbutton your shirt.
Every
time this happens, give that child a very big and loving “Thank you.” and don’t
forget to buy him gifts occasionally particularly for this act of love and kindness.
Doing this, not only create that bond between
you and your kids. It also teaches them love, care, empathy, and kindness.
3. DO IT NO MATTER HOW SIMPLE OR
COMPLEX
Outline
the tasks at home especially those that relate with your kids and commit to do
the least you can as you return every day from work. It can be helping them out
with their school assignments, bathing your kids while you tell them a story or
joining them to watch their Favorite TV show.
This is so important for the emotional stability
and psychology of the children. It can as well be an avenue of heart-to-heart
communication with your kids. It can be the only time they have to feature you
into the happenings of their lives; their experiences at school, and their
perception of the maids or any other visitor you may or may not know of.
If you must develop a HEALTHY PARENTING STYLE, then you must be a listening parent and a
great communicator.
This parenting advice is second to none, so you
can’t afford to waive it.
4. WEEKEND JOINT HOME CHORES.
When kids see both parents doing chores together, they feel an atmosphere of love and care. Such feelings ultimately make them realize that they are loved by both parents equally.
Children are
very observant. If they notice that only one party is doing all the chores and this
party complains of being tired to help them out in some other things( school
assignments etc.), they tend to feel that the other party is selfish, wicked, and careless, which is not healthy for them. When children begin to think in such a way, they begin to ask surprising questions, become isolated, depressed, and start demonstrating poor academic performances.
5 5. NEVER YOU ACT LIKE A STRANGER
Don't
come back home and say “ I never knew you are in the school baseball team” or “
I can't come to watch you play your game. I have some friends to meet up with.” This
is against the rule of bonding, yet many parents are guilty of it.
It is disheartening how many parents don’t know
a lot about their kids’ life; school life, personal life, interest, likes and
dislikes. This can leave children thinking that they are the least item of
priority in their parent’s scale of preference.
The main essence of this rule is to make
children realize how loved and prioritized they are. If you make them believe
they are a second priority, they’ll grow up to make you their last priority.
5 6. WEEKEND TRIP
Another very powerful parenting advice is this.
Don’t be a boring mom and dad at the
weekend. You can make the house lively
by dancing and singing together as a family. You may also want to bake
together, or go out to the play park or do a picnic together. Whatever you want
to do, do, but make sure you are not boring. Children like fun and the easiest way to bond with them is to do with them what they like doing.
