How can you connect with your child?

Connecting with your child helps them to feel safe and to trust that they can rely on you for support, love and affection. 

Here are some things you can do to help you connect with your child:

Spend time doing things together - Let your child take the lead and show you how they want to share time together. Spending time with your child might involve things like: talking, singing songs, playing games, sports, reading stories or baking something together.

Be present - Avoid distractions and give your child your full attention. Try to find a work-family balance by ‘switching off’ from other activities and being present when you are with your child. If you remember something you need to do, try to put the thought aside and make a note to come back to it later.

Show affection - It lets your child know that you care about them and develops trust and closeness. As parents we all have different ways of showing affection. Some examples are: giving hugs, kisses, smiling, high fives, a pat on the back or saying things like ‘I love you’ or ‘I’m proud of you’.

Praise the things your child is doing well - When you see or hear that your child has done something well praise them. It could be something as simple as: sharing toys, dressing themselves, using utensils well when eating, asking for things politely or playing with others without arguments.
