Tips To Strengthen A Healthy Parent-Child Relationship
Toddlers are an energetic ball of curiosity, energy and exploration. In these first years, it is important to build a healthy relationship based on open communication and mutual respect. At H3 Preschools, the best preschools in India, we understand how important laying this foundation is, to secure a bond that lasts for a lifetime.
To nurture a loving and caring bond with your toddler, here are few basic tips that you can keep in mind.
- Learning Through Play
Toddlers learn the most when the learning involves play. Preschools in India are equipped with good puzzles and games, but it is important to have blocks, puzzles and other games at home as well. Play with their toys, blocks and puzzles, helping them explore these together. Sing songs with them, dance with them, play outside and engage in all activities that they find fun. Create a positive atmosphere where they learn, share and trust you.
- Active Listening
At this young age, your toddler is going through a variety of emotions on a daily basis that they still don’t fully understand. They observe new things every day, and have many questions. The best thing you can do as a parent to a toddler is listen to them actively, make them feel safe and heard, and help them understand that there is someone there for them, who they can trust without worrying.
- Routine Always
A predictable schedule is the best thing you can give your toddler. With so many new sensory stimuli, information and new learnings everyday, they can often feel lost. The routine gives them a sense of stability and grounds them, they know what will come next, giving them a sense of calm amidst the chaos in their young minds.
- Empathy is Important
Your small child has very big emotions at that age, and sometimes these emotions manifest as tantrums, crying and getting angry. Even though you might feel like scolding them, the best thing to do in this situation is remain as calm as possible and try to understand what they are feeling. By validating their emotions you give them a sense of calm, and by offering solutions to them for comfort you show them that dealing with emotions doesn’t have to be very scary.
- Celebrate Small Victories
The first step, the fist artwork, their first performance in school, all these benchmarks might be small, but the first only happens once! Celebrate all these benchmarks with your toddler and make them feel special. Your enthusiasm will show them that you’re proud of them, and keep them encouraged to do better.
With such small steps, you can build a strong relationship based on empathy, mutual trust and respect with your toddler.
