As adults we tend to think that we should know all the answers or be able to figure out how to do something without asking a child for help. Letting your child know that you need his/her help shows that you are vulnerable too. By opening up to your child that you need his advice or assistance invites communication and sharing that makes your relationship stronger. Your child will feel needed and you will appreciate the experience of engaging him/her in this personal time together. Knowing that you helped someone who needed you is a very satisfying experience and builds ones self esteem. Let your child know that there are times that you need his/her help for simple things and he will be there for the big things too. For more information www.sheilaaronbooks.com.
