Children are a great joy in the life of every parent. When a child is born, he becomes the center of the family. Mom and dad try to give the best for their child to develop, awaken the kindest in themselves, to wrap the child with care and love.
But no one is immune from tragedy. And even in a loving family, misfortune can occur when parents lose a child. This happened in the family of American Richard Pringle, whose three-year-old baby Hugh passed away after a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.
It took Richard a whole year to digest and reflect on what had happened.
fatherhood. Then he shared his view on how to build relationships with children, so that you do not have to regret later.
“You cannot love too much, so give as much love as you can give.”
“If you try, you can find time for everything. Especially for playing with your baby. At least a few minutes a day.”
“Do not be lazy to photograph your child and make videos with his participation. You never know for sure what a happy moment might be.”
“Do not pay off a child with gifts. Let the memories remain not bought toys, but moments spent together – a trip to the sea, a hike in the mountains or a simple walk with ice cream.
Keep in touch with your child by doing something together, whether it’s listening to music, watching cartoons, or drawing.
“Value the general moments. Even sitting in front of the TV or walking in the park can be the happiest memories that will remain in your head. Simple things are missing the most.”
“When a child goes somewhere, remember to kiss him goodbye. You never know if this will be the last time.
“Smile to the child. You can always find a reason for small joys and tell a funny story or just share a good mood.
“Get a notebook for his successes. Every time a child does something worthwhile, write it down. Those memories will be useful to you in your later years.”
“If you can watch your baby wake up, if you can just talk to him or take him to prom, you’re a happy person.” Remember that!
Participation of the father in the upbringing of the child It's hard to overstate. The head of the family not only earns money, but also serves as an example for children. And if the child receives care, tenderness and love from the mother, then from the father - confidence, support, protection.
And if mother’s love is unconditional, without any achievements and merits on the part of the child, then the warm attitude of the father must be earned. The sons of the father are more demanding, so the boys behave better next to the head of the family, and from the outside it may seem that the son and father have a special bond.
In the son, the father sees not only the heir, but also the opportunity to realize his ambitions and unfulfilled expectations. There are cases when the father buys a child a large machine on the radio, but to play requires its own rules. Or sends the child to sports school because he had such a dream. The father is sure that the child will appreciate it. Later.
Parents forget that it is more important how the child feels today, how happy and fulfilling life he and his closest people live. Life is unpredictable, and therefore it is foolish to postpone the best for later, next time or for a decade.
