Why Is A Parent-child Relationship Important?
If you have been blessed with children you know that parenting is one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences that you can ever be given. It is however not a very easy role to fulfill because none of us were ever given a manual on how to raise a perfect child.
You simply do your best and hope everything works out. Whether things work out is dependent on your relationship with your child. Why is a parent-child relationship important?
A parent-child relationship is important because your child, a soul, has come into your life for a reason and it is not an accident. Your child may have come to teach you something and help your soul grow and/or to learn and grow as a soul from your wisdom. It is a much smoother experience if you have a good parent-child relationship.
Always strive to intentionally and consciously have a positive relationship with your child as you perform the daily parental functions that you have been trusted with because it directly impacts their development and potential success in different areas of life as an adult.
You may be wondering, can you make a parent-child relationship better?
Can You Make A Parent-child Relationship Better?
Yes, it is possible to better a relationship and it is never too late. It will take some effort and work however it is worth it. Next, let’s discuss some ways to have a better relationship with your child.
How To Have A Better Relationship With Your Child
I know like myself as a parent that having the best relationship with your child is very important to you. I am sharing 7 ways below for you to be able to have a better relationship with your child. It’s never too late to start doing these and improving your relationship with your child.
Raise Your Energy
Raise your energy by aligning to who you are, a soul with a body, and strive to live by your soul’s qualities: peace, love, joy, compassion, kindness, and abundance.
Spend some time in silence, meditate, and connect to your creator every day.
The more you change and raise your energy, the more the household energy will begin to change and affect everybody in your vicinity positively. All your relationships will begin improving automatically.
Be Self-aware
Become self-aware and figure out what triggers you when it comes to your relationship with your child. What is your identity, belief, thoughts, feeling, speech, and behaviour like just before your get triggered?
Remember you are both equal souls and there is a possibility that your child’s soul may be older than yours and it is here on earth to teach you something. Just because you are the parent does not mean that your perspective is always right in any situation. Be open to learning from your child too.
Love Unconditionally
Love your child unconditionally and make sure your child knows and feels that you love them unconditionally no matter what. Your child deserves to be loved unconditionally without any expectations by you just like your creator unconditionally loves you.
They should not have to do things your way to feel your love even if you don’t agree with the things that they’re doing. You can tell them “I don’t agree with what you’re doing because of the following reasons however that doesn’t mean I don’t love you”.
So many children feel that they’re not loved because of the way they are, behaving, and then they stop being authentic to who they truly are and why they’re truly here as a soul. Children come through you however they are a gift and not your property. They come through you to fulfill their God-given purpose.
Hear Them Out
Spend some quality time with your child and take the time to hear their perspective on things instead of telling them what to do and that you are being seen and not heard. Have an open and honest conversation with them and share your experience and rationale based on lessons that you have learned in life.
You may not always agree with their perspective and they may not agree with yours. Let them do things their way and learn from their failures as they are not in any danger, and not hurting someone else.
Understand Them
Take the time to understand who they are, what is it that they like and dislike, their personality, unique gifts, triggers, identity, beliefs, thoughts, feelings, behaviour, words, actions, and habits. Help them be self-aware because they need to know themselves so that they can live their best authentic life and serve their purpose.
Make Them Feel Seen
Take the time to make your child feel seen. Compliment them if you like what they did or what they are wearing. You may think they know how I feel about what they did or are wearing however it’s important to tell them and make them feel seen. Never compare them to anyone else.
Celebrate and appreciate their uniqueness and know that they are not here to blend in with others. They may not get the same grades as their siblings or friends however they have their gifts that you can take the time to acknowledge.
Accept Them
Accept them just the way they are. They are in a perfect body as a soul that is here to fulfill a purpose. Encourage them to do what gives them joy, be independent of others’ opinions about them, and focus on aligning to their true self, creator, and living a life of purpose as long as they are not harming anyone else.
In conclusion, you now know a parent-child relationship is important because your child, a soul, has come into your life for a reason and it is not an accident.
