A day in the life of a child is usually filled with high energy activitiy. As soon as they finish or get bored with one activity they move on to another. Their minds and bodies are constantly seeking new challenges and accomplishments. After a busy day a child will have a lot on his/her mind and talking about it will help him relax and unwind. Listening as he tells you all about his day helps him understand and explore the emotions experienced throughout the day. It also lets him know that you care about all that he did and that he can talk to you about anything and everything. Show your child how much you love him/her by sitting quietly and listening as he shares with you his thoughts and feelings. Private time spent with your child may be for only a few minutes or as long as necessary but, it will give a sense of conection that each will cherish. For more info www.sheilaaronbooks.com.
