How many times have you been with your children but not really been with them? You have instead been thinking about the tea, our jobs, problems that you have, been on the phone, or texting, watching the telly or talking to someone else at the same time. To improve your relationship with your children, make time to actually be with them.

By totally focusing on being with your children you will have much more enjoyment with them. They will feel that they are getting your full attention and that you really care about them.

Being fully there for your children is a really good time to connect with them. When children come up to you, this is the time that they really want you and it is a time that they are ready to learn. If small children come up to you with their painting to show you, or a pretty stone out of the garden, try hard to give them a moment and look at it. You will find that they only want a minute or two, most likely not even that. If you are too busy and act disinterested they will feel rejected and may start to play up for your attention by any means possible to take out their frustration.

Teenagers may even hang around you when they want to talk, (yes, they may not only want money!). Noticing them do this will mean you can give them a moment or two to discuss what they want, then they will be only too pleased to get on with what they were doing that didn’t involve you.

Really being with your child is a time when they will open up and talk to you. It is especially useful for those teenage boys, who tend not to talk as openly as girls. If you feel like your teenage son for instance is looking fed up or upset about something, but won’t talk to you about it, (Well, lets face it, did you tell your parent’s everything!), they are much more likely to open up to you if they are doing something relaxing like going for a walk or playing football because they are put off by face to face talks. Make the most of being with your children because they soon grow up and it’s then you who wants to be with them more than they with you.

Consider whether you could ‘be’ with your child more. It is a great tip to watch out for those times that they come up to you for something, if it was a colleague at work who came up to you, you would most likely stop and see what they wanted, or say can I get back to you I really want to talk but I am busy at the moment. It works wonders with children as well. Think about if there is a time in the day that you could spend being with your child, do you do it enough and how you might improve on this week?
