The "first three minutes" rule
id: 10014616

The rule of "first three minutes" is to always meet the child with such immense joy, as if meeting a friend whom you have not seen for many, many years. And it doesn't matter if you came back from the store where you ran out for bread, came home from work or returned from a business trip.

❗ As a rule, everything that the child wants to share with you, he "gives out" in the first minutes of the meeting, this is exactly the importance of not missing this time.

The "first three minutes" rule for parents:

- when picking up a child from school, always crouch at eye level, hug him when you meet him and tell him you miss him.

- when you come home from work, immediately pay attention to the child. Have fun and run after the child.
You have a few minutes to sit next to her, ask her about her day, and listen. Then go eat and watch the news. If you do not pay attention to the child in this way, then he will follow you all evening, demanding communication, attention, love.

❗It is not the amount of time that is important, but the emotional closeness❗
Sometimes a few minutes of a heartfelt conversation mean much more to a child than a whole day spent with you, if your thoughts were elsewhere at that time. Being rushed and worried all the time is definitely not going to make our children happy, even if we think we are doing it for them and their well-being.

❗For parents and children, the expression "time together" has different meanings.

For adults, it is enough that the children are just next to them when they do something at home or go to the store.
For children, the concept of "time together" means looking into each other's eyes when parents sit next to them, put away their mobile phones, turn off thoughts about their hundreds of problems and are not distracted by extraneous matters at all. A child will never trust if he feels that the parent's priority at the moment of communication is something more important than him.

Of course, parents do not always have time to play together with their children, but in such moments, do only what the child wants. It is not necessary to offer her your free time options. Time is fleeting, and you won't have time to realize how your sons and daughters will grow up, so don't waste time and start building trusting relationships with them now.
