Strengthening your relationship with your child is extremely important. I felt I was losing touch with my child and looked for ways to bond once again. I looked at each of my children to find which of five ‘love languages’ meant the most to them. Touch (f.ex. hugs/cuddles), words of affirmation, quality time, spontaneous gifts, acts of service (f.ex. cleaning their room once in a while). One of my girls became quite happy when I gave her a hug, after that I began showing her much more attention, even by simply placing my hand on her shoulder as I was talking with someone, simply letting her know I was there.Is this new to you? Catch up here For another one it was quality time. I began going in and spending time in the evenings just sitting at her bed and listening to her talk. In the begginning it took some probing, but you could easily see it meant the world to her. After some time I began going on mother/daughter, mother/son dates and the same with their father. They need to simply know you are there for them and want to listen and love on them. All of our relationships have never been as loving and strong.
