7 Ways To Bond With Your Child

It takes time to create a bond between father and son. Whenever we see him, it is easy for us to dedicate ourselves entirely to him.  However, it is said that not all fathers know how to create a bond with their children, because in addition to time they lack the enthusiasm to do what interests the children.

There are those who think that time and enthusiasm are nothing when there is the desire to create a bond of friendship and attachment. Therefore not even love should be lacking if there are all the other “ingredients” to become the father that every child dreams of having.

Let’s see some of the many ways to create a bond between father and son.

Be his hero

Becoming your child’s hero will make you his absolute favorite, we assure you. His admiration will be so great that he will prefer to be by your side rather than in the warm embrace of his mother. It is clear that you will not achieve this by hoping that it becomes reality as it happens in the movies: to be the heroes of your children you will have to work hard every day.

Be his accomplice

When we say we are the child’s accomplice we refer to following him on his adventures. Watch baseball games, accompany him on a camping trip, grab Grandma’s cake and eat it together under the bed so that no one can see you… Keep his secrets and never betray his trust. Being his accomplice will make you the most faithful companion he will ever find in his eyes.

Be his support

Your child, like every child after all, needs strong shoulders to support him every time he has to cry, hands that push him forward when he wants to stop, ears that listen to him and a voice that advises him. Who can do it better than you? The child needs you to sit down with him and help him solve his problems, clear up his doubts, answer every question that comes to mind.

Be his guide

Being your child’s guide is probably very complicated. In this task you always get confused, because no one has taught you how to show him the beautiful things in the world without interfering with his choices. Yet, now that you are doing everything to become his guide, you are learning that “to educate is not to impose a path, it is to teach to walk”. And you are succeeding. With your advice you show him all the opportunities the universe has for him, but you leave him enough freedom for him to choose them for himself.

Be his playmate

Have you seen what a happy face you make when you play with your child? Have you ever started looking at hers? You both feel extremely lucky when you share a moment of play.

Don’t just devote all the time and enthusiasm you have to have fun. Take advantage of the opportunity to teach him your childhood games and toys: the top, the slingshot, hide and seek, limbo … Also ask him to teach you to play the video games that excite him so much.

Be his teacher

Pass on all your knowledge to your child: teach him about home repairs, about the tasks you know how to do at home, about car repair …

Teach him the importance of being creative in each of his projects. Stay close to him when he does his homework and don’t lose sight of his school education. The family and the home are the best school in which the child can learn good table manners, the use of correct verbal expression and bodily intelligence … among many others.

Be the dad who takes refuge in his son’s arms

Although everyone knows that adults are the ones who offer shelter to children, nothing is better than reversing the situation. Give it a try. Ask your child to pick you up (even if you are carrying your weight) and caress you. Sit on the ground and rest your head on his little legs.

If during his growth you have taught him to be affectionate, at this time you will verify the result of your teachings. You will be rewarded with all the affection he has to give you and you will see how good he will feel when he gives you his affection.
