The 5 Best Four Letter Words In Parenting

The 5 Best Four Letter Words In Parenting

Parenting is one of the most challenging tasks in the world.

Unfortunately, more and more parents are opting for the

easy way out and not promoting healthy development in

their children. More and more parents are focusing on the

intellectual development of the children, ignoring the

psychological and sociological development.

What should parent do in developing their children? Are there

enough words to help develop a truly well rounded adult?

Below you will find the best four letter words every parent

should use to rear loving, competent, healthy, and happy

children.

LOVE

You may not always like your children (especially when they

misbehave), but you must always love them. It is important

that parents tell their children often that they love them. All

children go through periods of doubt, especially when they

have committed some offense.

Children do not always "know" that parents love them. If a

parent cannot say the words, "I love you, to a child,

something is wrong and the child will interpret it as rejection.

Personally, every night before our two little ones (Ethel and

Ethan) go to bed, I always make a point to whisper to their

ears, tell them that 'Daddy loves them'. And it is a ritual that

I do every day, unless I have to work late outside the home

that night.

And because of the little things that I do, I form an amazing

relationship my two young children.

For example, each time when I step into the house after a

hard day work, the two of them will definitely rush to the

door with their big happy smile - Ethan who is only 15

months will call out 'Papa, Papa!' and Ethel who is now 5-

year-old will give me a fuzzy hug and me . They really melt

my heart each time when they do that.

Children who receive love at home will reciprocate to the

world with love. And they will be welcomed and loved by

many others.

TALK / DINE

Children want parents to talk with them, even when they

say, "Nothing" or "I don't want to talk about it."

How will a child know what is important in life if the parent

does not talk to the child?

One of the best times to talk with your child is during meal

time.

When you talk to your child, practice rephrasing questions so

that they are open-ended, cannot be answered with "yes" or

"no." Parents need to listen to their children and talking

with them about their day even if the events may not seem

important or educationally sound to you.

I know many home experiencing the following:
