Building Family Relationships
What You Can Do as a Parent
-
Take
your child along with you when you do
errands. The child will enjoy talking and
learning with you at the supermarket or
wherever else you need to go. Children also
like to look at what's happening in the
neighborhoods along the way to and from
these trips.
-
Save some one
to one time with each child in your family.
Remember to ask your child questions about
what his likes/dislikes are, how his day
went at the child care or his school, what
he did with his friends. Give your child
some space to talk.
-
Involve your
child in chores around the house and talk
about sharing the work load together. Talk
to your child about his/her day with friends
while you are working together. Even every
young children can sort the laundry with
your help.
-
Play a game
at least once a week. This will teach your
child to follow rules, share and wait
his/her turn and to negotiate fairness.
-
Let each
family member decide on a family activity
one night a week.
