Closeness With Your Children

Parents are very important to all of us. Every one of us loves our parents, and they happen to be the most important persons in our lives. Our parents are the two people who love us unconditionally and who support us in everything.

Being a parent is a very nice experience. Most people enjoy their parenthood a lot. Parents love their kids a lot and they enjoy seeing their kids growing up. These feelings are reciprocated by the children with the same intensity. This creates the beauty of the family life.

The family unit is a very important unit. Those nations in which people still prefer to live as a family are more peaceful, and the crime rate is less in those countries. Still, the countries which do not have the culture in which lots of importance is given to the family unit are richer and economically more stable as people become independent in those cultures and everyone has to earn to support by themselves.

Family units are important to all as they are a very important factor which shapes the personality of every one. The experiences you have with your family are the determining factors which make up your personality. Family unit is important in more than one sense. It is a very important part of the culture. We can see different types of family units existing in different parts of the world.

The importance and value of a united family unit has changed from the past. Now the life we spend as a family is very different from what a family spent some five decades back. Due to the fast pace of life and so much of innovation going on it is a must that people invest their time with their family to make their family unit very strong.

Parents are the most important persons in the family. The parents are the two people to whom the kids look up to. They respect their parents for what they are and all the family member share unconditional love in the ideal situation. But it is not necessary that this situation keeps on prevailing at all times.

With so many things out there which can gather the attention of your kids, it is a must that you pay all due attention to the problems of your family life. The most important aspect in this regard is to be close to your kids. Your children need you the most, and so you must develop close ties with your children to make your family an ideal happy family.

The relationship you can develop with your children is dependent on the ages of your children. The most important point is that these relationships do not develop over night. You have to struggle a lot to develop your relationships with your children.

You need to make them trust you. This is important. If they start trusting you and you become successful in befriending them, it will be easier for you and the kids to adjust with each other. The ties will become stronger and your family life will get close to the idea family life.

Parents should be very close to their children. According to the age group of your children you need to treat them in different manners. If your kids are at a school-going age and they are still very much close to their home still, you can befriend them by simply listening to all what they have to say and by answering their questions. When the kids are growing they are sometimes very confused about little things.

As parents you can get closer to them you help them with this. Similarly the teenager children need little more care and patience. You need to give them a bit of confidence as well as some space. It is a bit tricky to handle the girls of that age as well as the boys. The boys are a bit aggressive in that age while the girls are a bit confused. Try to understand them. They will respect you more if you can befriend them.

I always believed and felt this was true until this past year

Since then my oldest son has distantanced himself from all of us. His wife is the reason. We know she is the reason and have ample proof of it. He did not call or send me a card on Mother's day or my birthday. He has ignored to their great hurt his neices and nephews who adore him. His wife does NOT want us to be around her. She wants my son exclusivly to herself and their children. They have one son and two foster children. Her neice and nephew. We keep praying our son will call and be the once kind, generous loving son he used to be and he was always respectful and honorable. His wife however takes offense at prayers or anything she thinks might be a slight to her marriage to our son. When nothing is against her at all. She holds grudges and vendettas and won't give them up. She claims our son has left his Christian upbringing and though baptized is no longer embracing Christianity. He says nothing to us. She speaks for him. We are all of us concerned and pretty sure he is a battered or abused husband. She is a big woman and an attorney. So all we can do is pray. Sooner or later God will win out.
