The Parent-Child relationship is the one that has the most lasting influence on

a child's all-round development among all relationships the child forms in his growing years. It is therefore absolutely necessary to build and cultivate the best parent-child relationship possible with one's children.

"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it."-Proverb 22:6.(KJV)

Below are points for developing a strong bond with your child (ren):

🎯 Spend plenty of time with your children: This will create a nice, monitored and controlled atmosphere in the house, as well as give room for parent-child bonding.

🎯 Ask them questions with a mild voice: Don't scare your children away with too much harshness when you ask them questions, or when you have to answer their questions. Stories abound everywhere of kids being sexually harassed by close family members, neighbours, church members, school mates e.t.c. Most children are too scared to share their ugly experiences with their parents because they are always nagging and shouting.

🎯 Avoid keeping malice or holding grudges against your child: No matter how badly your child behaves, your love for them should never wither. You can count on God's love to help you when you can't seem to love them naturally.

🎯 Love them unconditionally: You are to love your children no matter the odds/ stacked against them or how terrible their attitudes are.

🎯 Pamper a child appropriately: Pamper your child or children with good things of life, but never neglect to correct them when they are wrong. Remember the story of Prophet Eli and his children.

🎯 Tell your children what they are meant to know: You should show your children what is wrong and right. An outsider may tell them in the wrong way.

🎯 Monitor your children's attitude and mood: It helps you to know when they have problems or need help. However, learn to give them space too.

🎯 Pray to God always: Ask God to strengthen you in discharging your duties as a parent. Commit their hearts into His care too.

God has given us the responsibility of care-takers in the lives of these children. We must not fail our Maker in discharging this responsibility for which we all shall give account on the last day.
