The Three Minute Rule
Have you noticed that after school or kindergarten, children try to tell you everything that happened to them during the day in a few minutes? These few minutes can change your relationship forever. It turns out that there is an important rule of communication in the family – the “three minute” rule. This axiom works for both spouses and children. Try to apply this rule every day and you will see how your family relationships will change.
CHILDREN ALWAYS NEED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION
The “first three minute” rule is to always meet your child with such great joy, as if you were meeting a friend you haven’t seen for many, many years.
Usually, everything that a child wants to share with you, he “gives out” in the first minutes of meeting, this is precisely the importance of not wasting this time.
While parents simply take their child by the hand and say “let’s go” while talking on the phone.
When you come home from work, immediately pay full attention to the child. Take off your shoes and run after the child. You have a few minutes to sit next to them, ask about their day and listen. And only then do your own business.
After all, if you do not pay attention to the child in this way, then he will follow you all evening, needing communication.
Remember, IT IS NOT THE AMOUNT OF TIME, BUT EMOTIONAL CLOSENESS!
Children really need communication, they need their own life example.
For parents and children, the expression “time together” has different meanings.
For adults, it is enough for children to simply be next to them when they are doing something at home or going to the store.
But for children, the concept of “time together” is looking eye-to-eye when parents sit next to each other, put down their mobile phones, exclude thoughts about their hundreds of problems, and are not distracted by extraneous matters at all.
