Being a parent, it is very important that you are always open to learning better parenting skills and adopting smart techniques from other parents. As this is the time of New Year here are some resolutions for parents:

Unplug yourself: 

Put away all the gadgets for a couple of hours once you get home. Get yourself involved in cleaning, cooking, and table setting. Kids grow up so fast so you can take all the time now and do whatever you can.

Mother and Wife: 

Give your kids a good example of a healthy and happy marriage so that it will make them feel loved, confident, secure and blessed.

Listen more and talk less: 

Ask questions from your little ones such as how are you, what are you feeling, what do you think, what would you do or tell me about it. This will make them feel important and will also strengthen the relationship.

Don’t skimp on bedtime:

No matter how old your child is, never compromise on the bedtime. Always be there to tuck them in the bed. This is a great way to bond. Being there with them at the end of the day creates a quiet space to talk and establish intimacy and security. Go through their routine and snuggle in. 

Don’t lose temper:

Don‘t lose your cool with your kids. When your kids test your patience, avoid stress and anger by refusing to take the bait. Calming yourself before you react is the key.

Do house chores:

Having a household system with responsibilities for everyone makes life easier. Assign chores and remind kids of their duties regarding their things. Try keeping all the chores for your kids in a jar, so they will know what they have to do and you can ask about them at the end of the day, chores could be like picking up toys, putting clothes in the basket or throwing away trash.

Spend more time together:

Have family dinners more often (especially with the TV off). This will allow the kids to speak in front of their fathers and share their school routine, performance, and behavior. This is one of the best ways when a father can bond with the kid. These connections matter a lot, for the parents as well as the kids.
