Steps to build a healthy relationship between a mother and her child

Raising children is not an easy task. It requires awareness, patience, and tenderness. One of the most important foundations of successful upbringing is for the mother (or both parents) to build a strong and solid relationship with her children. A positive relationship between a mother and her children enhances self-confidence, increases communication, reduces behavioral problems, and paves the way for a happy, psychologically and socially balanced child.

Steps to build a good relationship with your children
Listen carefully to them:

Listen to your children carefully without interrupting. Show them that you are interested in what they have to say, even if the topics seem simple or trivial to you. Listening promotes feelings of safety and trust.

Show love clearly:

Don’t just love your children in your heart, but express it with words, hugs, and daily attention. Children need to feel loved all the time, not just when they succeed or behave well.

Spend quality time with them:

Set aside time daily to sit with your children without distractions (such as phones or TV), whether playing, talking, or reading a story. This time deepens the relationship and strengthens the bond.
Respect their feelings and opinions:

Even if your child is young, you should respect his opinion and give him the opportunity to express his feelings. This teaches him self-confidence and makes him feel his value.

Be a good role model:

The child learns more from the actions of the parents than from their words. Be a role model in morals, behavior, and self-control. Your son will learn more from your behavior than you think.

Use positive parenting methods:

Avoid shouting or harsh punishment, and replace it with understanding, discussion, and setting clear boundaries. Positive parenting means being firm and gentle at the same time.

Share simple decisions with them:

Involving the child in some simple decisions (such as choosing clothes, a meal, or a place to go for a walk) develops his sense of independence and strengthens the relationship between you.

Celebrate their accomplishments, no matter how small:

Encouragement and motivation help the child feel proud and satisfied, and increase his attachment to you and his self-confidence.
