Good Parenting Guide

Children is one of the most precious gifts that every parent ever have in their life. We work hard and try to make more money so that we can give the best to our children. For example best education, shelter, food and many more!

However, due to breakdown of communication, often we have hard time to communicate effectively with our children. Despite our good intention, our children simply fail to listen to us.

Some of the reasons that lead to the breakdown of communications between children and parent is as follows:

1) Lack of time for communications - Due to the financial reason, is it common for both father and mother need to works for long hours so that the family has enough money to meet daily living expenses.

As a result, this lead to insufficiently of time for parent to communicate with their children.

2) Ineffective communication skills - Parent themselves often refuse and fail to understand what are the children thought and thinking. They often impose their value and beliefs to their children.

The parent fails to lend listening ear to their children when the children are wanted to share their thought and thinking! This is like one way communication!

3) Peer influence - The classmates and friends of the children often have greater influence on children than their parent, this is because they spend more time with their peer than parent.

Their peer is more willing to lend listening ear to the children when they wanted to share their thought and thinking. Therefore, the children consciously or unconsciously pick up limiting beliefs, bad habits from their peer!

The breakdown of communications often negatively affect the life of the children. They become unmotivated in their life, lack of self-confidence, poor grade in their school and do not know how to communicate effectively with people and so on!

The limiting beliefs and poor communication skills also negatively affect them even after they join working life. They struggle in life, unhappy in life, lack of motivation!

The parent can improve the relationship by spend more quality time with the children. They need to lend listening ear to the children and encourage them to share their thought and thinking. They need to realized that effective communication is not one way communication. It involved feedback from the children as well!
