Forming a special bond with the child is special. Enlisting some of the things in order to strengthen this bond. I hope you will find these things useful as much as me.
1. At least twice a day, hug her. Physical connection leads to the formation of bond. The little one feels secured and loved in the arms.
2. As far as possible, don't neglect what the child wants to say to you. It may mean very little thing for you. But it is of prime importance to your child. If she is complaining about something, don't try to resolve the issues, just listen. In turn, she may start to listen to you.
3. Read with the child when she is small. Discuss what she has read when she starts to read on her own. This leads to brain and expression development.
4. If you are good at art, do some artistic activity with her. If you are not an artistic person, still do it. Perfection doesn't matter. Having a good time does...!
5. Play physical sports with her outdoors. Teach her how to hold rackets for badminton. Teach her to kick the football nicely. Start running a race or any other kind of race. Teach her winning or losing doesn't matter. Playing with joy does matter!
6. Play with her indoor games like chess/carrom/ludo/uno/playing cards. She will cherish these memories for a long time.
Follow number 1 and number 2 with consciousness. Rest can be carried out as per your availability of time. But most of the things can surely be done at least once a week.
Why forming a bond with a child is important?
A happy home is a heaven on earth. Happiness lies in little things.
Chasing after ambitious goals may or may not bring results. Disappointments are parts of life. The child eases the burden of survival in a competitive world.
A child is an investment for the future. If she feels an overpowering feeling to keep telling you every little thing, you will never feel just on your own in old age.
After your parents, your child does have a special place in your life. Parents brought you in the world and you brought your child in the world. Make this world a special place for them.
Forming a bond with the child doesn't need a penny. It needs conscious efforts, little time, and innermost expression of LOVE!
