Having a child is one of the most wonderful things that can happen to any person. Once you start being a parent, the overwhelming feelings of happiness and excitement fills up your heart with emotions until your heart bursts with hope and anticipation of what your child could become in the future. You start thinking, “hey what will my son look like ten years from now”, or “will my daughter resemble me when she grows up?”. People tend to think of the future when they handle their relationships with our children, but the question that you should really answer is, “How well do I know my child?”.

Today, with the world getting busier with each passing day, parents tend to forget that they still have responsibilities to their children. Most of the time, parents think that providing for their children is enough to get their children’s love and affection when in reality, your child needs more than material things in order to establish a working relationship with you. As your child grows, he or she will meet new people and experience new events that can drastically change his or her outlook in life. But at the end of the day, your child will certainly still come back to you to ask for opinion and a friend to talk to.

Creating a strong bond with your child ensures that he or she will not estranged to you, whatever adversaries that your family might face. Doing simple things together with your child is a good way to start creating those memories that will forever linger in your child’s memories. Watching tv, going out on a picnic or even doing the homework are good activities that you can try if you want to establish a strong relationship with your children.
