I just woke up after long to see how less quality time I spend with my kids. I do see them throng with affection. Many times I take it for granted that they like what I do . But never have I realized that kids like some stuffs they enjoy and I do not participate in them. For example any game or show on TV etc. So it is very important for me to see what is in the little one's mind too.
In general we cannot take for granted that kids should like what we want. My interest is music and my kids love that too. At least they do not hate it. But once in a while I should make it a point to see that I spend quality time with their loving areas too.
Just a message and a wake up call for me. Thanks to my beloved for letting me know this.
Love Beeyappa.

when some bad things happen it is to reveal to you some answers you are really seeking deep inside...so when all you are looking for is to be a great dad...you already are and you are trying in every way to make that better. That is what makes you special and beyond all the storm and rage there is a deep seated love for you within all of us.
ReplyDeleteBonding is not talking to them alone. sometimes, it requires a parent to sit & play a game or watch whatever they are interested in, even if you know nothing. in my case, the only way to bond with mynot so talkative son was to watch his fav sports. I ended up following Formula 1 & started liking it. I also learnt that I could ask questions during ad breaks or pit stops during racing. fun times..
