Connect with Their Heart

Learn three tips you can implement today to connect with your child’s heart.

1. Body Language

   Yashoda Mata had her full attention on Krishna, though she was in middle of cooking.

   Face your children. Move your entire body towards them. Put your phone away. Turn the tv off. Don’t half-listen with your attention elsewhere. Try to do this as many times as you’re able. You will see the connection increase

2. Hear More, Speak Less

   Allow them to let whatever is on their mind come out by acknowledging it with much less language than they. We end up lecturing when they come to us. We teach them lack of confidence in their own thoughts. We aren’t supposed to be stuffing our viewpoints down their throats; most of the time, they will come to their own conclusions with open ended words and questions.

3. Name Their Feelings

   You’re feeling frustrated because …. Sounds like you’re really angry… It feels overwhelming…

Happy Mother’s Day!
