Listening - The Key to Family Bonding - 1 minute video
If you and your family are so busy with life that you don’t have time for each other, you might want to slow down. Remember the 10-10-10 Rule by Suzy Welch where you ask yourself 3 questions?
- Will this (busyness) matter in 10 days?
- Will it matter in 10 months?
- Will it matter in 10 years?
In 10 years your 8-year old will be 18. The point is, we need to make room for our children if we want to enjoy a strong family bond. Family bonds can give each member a strong foundation for dealing with life, especially if it's a loving connection.
Today, our 1 minute parenting tip video features a simple solution you can start using today. Here is the video with the script below it:
Listening – the Key to Family Closeness
If You’re a Busy Parent AND YOU KEEP SAYING to your child, “I don’t’ have time to talk,” You could be sending him the message, “What I’m doing is more important than you are.” Of course, it’s not what you mean. What can you do? Tell your child when you can talk with him. “Give me 15 minutes. Then let’s talk.” Don’t forget!
