I am present and engaged in my child's life, taking time to listen and connect with them
As a parent, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life. Between work, household chores, and other responsibilities, it can be challenging to find time to connect with your child. However, it's essential to make an effort to be present and engaged in your child's life.
One way to do this is by taking the time to listen to your child. When they come to you with a problem or just want to talk, make sure you give them your full attention. Put down your phone, turn off the TV, and really listen to what they have to say. By doing this, you're showing your child that you value their thoughts and feelings.
Another way to connect with your child is by finding activities that you both enjoy. Whether it's playing a board game, going for a walk, or cooking together, spending quality time with your child can help strengthen your bond. It's also a great way to create lasting memories that you both will cherish.
Remember, being present and engaged in your child's life doesn't mean you have to be perfect. It's okay to make mistakes and have bad days. What's important is that you're making an effort to be there for your child and show them that you care.
So, repeat this affirmation to yourself: "I am present and engaged in my child's life, taking time to listen and connect with them". By doing so, you're reminding yourself of the importance of being an active and involved parent. You're also setting an intention to prioritize your child and their needs.
