Spend quality time with your child

By Gary Shaporka 5 min read

Have you given quality time to your child in length? Regardless of age, the child needs a parent’s attention in full. I believe most parents give entirely more attention to their smart phone. Children need to absorb the father and mother’s unopposed true self. Doing things together from the time a child is able to walk until the time they leave the nest and initiate their own life is critical. This can establish a love of one another that can’t be destroyed in any circumstance of negativity. Genuine love and appreciation of one another is constituted with strong acquaintance. The best gift of any a parent can give is interactive attention. Attentive parents are the integral part of a child’s success. Quote, Kahlil Gibran, philosopher, “You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.”

Too often a parent has other obligations that interferes with what really is important (a child’s upbringing). It’s understandable that job responsibility of a father and mother are required, but responsibility to child is all important as well. You brought them into a reality of life, now take charge! Open your intellective private world door and let your child enter to enjoy your company. You just can’t give them a video game, bicycle/quad or other means of entertainment and “let them go.”

With unvarying parental attention a child will evolve into some form of respect for themselves, others and law enforcement.

There are multitudes of entertainment at hand to enjoy with your child to create a bond of steadfast friendship (understanding of one another’s inner nature). Quote, Oliver Wendell Holmes, “A moment’s insight is sometimes worth a life’s experience.” Weekends are generally free for interactive relationships, especially during a child’s beginning years of life. It may be difficult to avoid your job responsibility, but a child’s mental health concerns are far more important than employment concerns. Think about it! Put that “damn” job concern aside for a moment and give your child a moment of quality time together. The same applies to weekday time off. What’s more important than giving your son or daughter quality time? Do you think constant barstool, golfing or fishing with friends is primary appeal over your child? The selections of entertainment with your child are abounding that the youngster can appreciate; sport events, museums, zoo, playgrounds, fishing, miniature golf, bowling to name a few.

Connect with your son/daughter by means of a co-relationship, one on one. “Limit” them to connect with the ill-effects of video or other means of negative activity. You just never know. The violence fascinates and intrigues the mind to fantasize or emulate for some users. Immature minds are very susceptible to being consumed by atrocity. Involvement in constructive sociable activities is advised. Take your kid out more often and buy him/her an ice cream cone or hot dog (talk). Parents should always find time to talk and make a child feel special. Just driving your child to a practice of sort “isn’t” quality time. Watching them play ball doesn’t unite a relationship and create a harmony of love and respect. It’s an act of “counterfeit affection.” Proverbs 22:6; “Train children in the right way, and when old, they will not stray.” There is a place for children as not to disturb adults wanting a circumstance of gratification. Church service is not in the child’s mind of thinking, feeling or attention (unfocused). Sunday school for the study of Divinity is considered and accepted for their interests and betterment. The importance of teaching children the understanding of God in guiding them to a relationship with Christ Jesus is a vacation bible school as well. Children belong where children can be a child and unimposed upon adults. Separate the wheat from the shaft.

Until a child can fit into a mature serious environment, then provide them the access to associate. The nightmarish tragic events that have unfolded in our society concerning adolescence behavior is two-fold; child versus child incompatibility and parent versus youth upbringing and connection. If a parent is faithfully concerned for their children’s productive and positive future, dispose of the selfish embellishment for yourself and apply your mind to son/daughter on a consistent basis. Some parents just find the need to conceive rather than conceiving and caring. A child’s mind should always come first. It’s a chance toss-up, but children can make it successfully without parent harmony with self-control and strong perseverance.

They’re off and running with a blink of an eye. Time passes quickly and a day will come when you say to yourself, “I wished I would have given more of myself than I did when he/she was a child.” Sirach 30:1, “He may rejoice of the way he turns out. He who disciplines his son will profit by him, and will boast of him among his acquaintances. When the father dies, he will not seem to be dead, for he has left behind him one like himself.” (Contributing citizen).
