Hello parent!

Today I'll be talking about Relationship.

You read right.😊

Bei is back from school, she needs to talk to you but you're no where to be found.

Hello mummy, can I ask you a question?

Sweetheart, as you can see I'm really busy now, we can talk later.

Hey dad, something happened at school today.

My darling, daddy is tired now, can you please tell your mum about it?

Last week I talked about Trust, you cannot get to that stage of trust without having a good relationship with your children.

Good relationship starts from paying attention to one another, becoming talk mate, gisting and more.

You know how it all started with your partner now.

You didn't just wake up one day and decide that you want to get married.

It's a gradual process.

You need to take time to bond with your children, you need to be their greatest fan!

Listen to their jargons and don't push them away.

Relationship get destroyed when there's no communication, the same thing happens to you and the children.

You don't talk, you don't see because you need to be out as early as possible and you get back home late.

The best gift you can give to your children is TIME, It's not money, it's not cake, it's not a doll or even a car.

And it's not SOMEONE ELSE TIME!

It's simply your TIME!

I understand that you may not always be available but they need to understand that mummy/daddy is not always like this so she needs to be left alone for now.

When you have a good relationship with them, they will find it hard to keep things from you.

Even if somebody threatens them, they may not tell you but your relationship with them will determine if you will know or not.

Be good to them and enjoy the relationship.

Did you learn something from this?

Let's talk in the comment section.

Don't forget to join me next week.
