Connect 4 Life, extract from The Leader Board
HAVE you ever considered your children have a certain magnificence?
If not, it may be that your day is so crowded that you are unable to view your child ’s potential through the misty haze of life in the fast lane? Perhaps now is the moment in your life to give yourself and your child the time you both deserve.
Alan Wilson, a visionary on the subject of improving your relationship with children, be it as a mentor, teacher, or parent, has the answers. He spends time passing on what he has discovered for the benefit of all who choose to take on board his enlightening perceptions.
Alan ’s top three tips for improving the relationship you have with your children, or those in your care are:
1. Put yourself higher up the priority list, and therefore value yourself more.
2. Realise you can ’t control children, only influence them. The best way to do that is to work on opening up a negotiation route so those children feel valued.
3. See the magnificence in your child, not just the behaviour. Start to wonder what they are good at because there is an awful lot of magnificence behind the surface if only you could give them that time and space to express themselves.
Children have long beena fascination of mine and they should be nurtured. I am a believer that we should give them the benefit of our experiences without actually telling them what to do. Let them make their own decisions and also have conversations with them while listening. You get more out of them that way.
The concept of allowing children to develop is not a new thing. It is something all parents should have been doing from the word go. This is not a breakthrough, it is the norm in many people's households although I accept there are some parents who wouldn't see it in this light.
I have neighbours who dote on their kids and ask them all the right questions. So they get anserws back. Not necessarily the right answers but the imagination can run wild and that is half the fun of being with children.
