Dont forget to practice 5 love languages with your child every day
With 5 love languages, you will easily show your love for your child, thereby nurturing the love between you and your child.
Young children may not fully understand the meaning of their parents' love for their children. According to Dr. Gary Chapman , author of the book "Five Love Languages" (5 love languages), there are 5 love languages of parents: giving gifts, expressing through words, spending time with children, helping and cuddly children. Normally, you might have used 1 or more of the 5 languages above.
Parents often express their affection for their children through everyday activities, such as picking up their children at school, encouraging them before their exams, and telling stories to their children before bedtime. However, each young child will respond to their parents' feelings in different ways. For example, your child prefers to go to the beach with his family than to receive a gift or to have a child just praise or cuddle. Here are 5 love languages that help create a bond between parents and children:
1. Giving gifts
Giving gifts to children is a clear way of showing affection to your children. When your child receives gifts, they will feel important and loved. However, you should not give gifts to comfort or substitute for your presence. For example, if you are away from work and want to give your child a gift to make up for when you are away from home.
2. Speech
Praising your child too much will make them feel proud and complacent. Therefore, you should only show love through words when your child has special achievements or results, for example, he does not give up his goal after many failures.
Using words for encouragement and praise is very important for young children. Ideally, you should give specific compliments to your child's actions, instead of complimenting: "You are so good," you could say, "You clean the room so beautiful."
3. Spend time with your child
To make time with your children really meaningful, you should ignore thoughts in work, electronic devices to wholeheartedly play with your children, share emotions, and answer questions. This will help your child connect with you more.
4. Please help your child
You can help your child handle the situation, take care of them when they are sick or take the initiative to do something before they ask. Try to refrain from voicing reminders when you feel your child brushing their teeth for too long, so don't forget to listen and keep promises to their requests.
5. Cuddle your baby
When you hug, kiss, or cuddle your baby while playing, this is how you show your baby's affection. However, you should also pay attention because these actions can make your child feel uncomfortable, especially older children.
