You know one of the best things is to help our children to be able to express appreciation — to be able to have a confidence in saying to someone why you like them or that you love them and why they’re special to you.
Here is what I think is a creative idea that can help you to interact with your kids and to understand them even more. That’s what I always try to do to find a game, something we can do, questions I could ask that will help me to understand my child even better.
You know, the more we can do with our children, the more we can interact with them, the better the family will be—and the happier our children will be, and the happier any parent would be.
What can we do to impact our children? You know what my kids tell me now? “Daddy, family routine — having a routine in the family that we follow.” For example, my children always knew that when I was home I went to bed with them.
I’d ask, “Who is the one person you would like to invite to dinner tonight? If only one person in all of history you could invite for dinner, who would it be?” And you would be amazed at what your kids would say.
I have found that in a relationship with my children asking questions is one of the best ways to get them to talk, to learn things about them. I find out what I think is true of my child is often not what’s really true of my child what I learn through asking questions.
With our children, to pass values on them, we need to be honest about our own past. And you know what I found? The more I could share, not just positive but even negative things out of my past with my children, the greater impact it has in their life. And they can see that their father, their mother is real.
The more our children look to us for answers, usually the better the relationship is, and the greater the family harmony is, and the joy and the happiness in the family. So I always taught my children there’s absolutely nothing off limits. No question, anything, you can ask me any question you want on any subject, and I will answer it as honestly and as fairly as I can. Whoa! Trust me, you do that, you gonna get some interesting questions, especially from teenagers.
You know, if you want to impact your kids with values, with truth, then you not only need a relationship — you need to be upfront with them. And here’s my philosophy: always look for opportunities. Every little opportunity something is said or done that you can step in and address the issue and step back. Especially in taboos in society
To be a hero to your kids, you need to try to be always the source of their information. Where they learn it from you before they learn it from anyone else so they always look to you. And explain issues that are wrong, but why they are wrong.
