How to Show Love to Your Children

Love is such an integral part of our lives that in most cases it is least discussed and best felt.
Love is an ephemeral feeling that gives a sense of protection and security and leaves behind a lasting impression of trust and bondage.
It is subtle and unfathomable.
It is like the electricity current that connects lives around us and helps illuminate the hearts of so many.
Life devoid of love would lead to a big vacuum in our lives Amazing though it may seem, the thought that love needs to be demonstrated can be quite confounding.
Majority of our day-to-day action is done so instinctively that seldom do we stop and think if any concerted effort and conscious action can make any difference to the lives of our near and deal.
Yes, to most of our surprise, it does, especially when we are dealing with the responsibility of molding and nurturing the psychological and emotional growth of the tiny whinnies.
Day in and day out most of the parental action for the child demonstrated is a reflection of the love for the child.
The basis of relationship for a parent and a child is love.
At different stages of life, manifestation of love will take different form.
As a tiny-tot, the parents are the world to the children.
There is a lot of opportunity to physically cuddle, hug and embrace the child, all to express ones love and care.
The more the physical bond is established, more confidant does the child grows up to be.
Besides physical bonding, a parent can express his/her effusive love through many small actions which can give immense pleasure to the child.
Every small gift and surprise is capable of bringing tons of happiness into their lives.
A ride on a horse, a trip to the zoo, a puppet show outing, an ice cream treat, preparing a favorite dish are some of the ways that a child can enjoy the pleasures of being loved.
With time and age, the materialistic pleasure gets slowly replaced by less tangible sources.
As they slowly grow older and understand the world on their own terms, love needs to be expressed in a much more matured manner.
The stage between adolescence to adulthood is a critical phase when distance and space between parent and child is slowly defined.
To ensure that this space is minimal, a robust communication channel needs to be developed.
Sharing thoughts and ideas and encouraging the children to do the same is one form of recognizing that their views matter.
To acknowledge and appreciate their view points and help them feel responsible for their views is a subtle expression of love.
Another way of showing love is by taking keen interest in subjects dear to them.
If your child loves and plays football, taking time off from work to go and watch a match played by him could be an expression of love.
Organizing a group movie show for your child and his friends could be another way to express the same.
Sharing know-how of new fascinating products could be yet another way to communicate the same.
While maintaining distance to develop discipline, a parent can find amusing ways to connect with his /her teenage child.
At adulthood, the situation is similar to that of young bird being readied to fly into the world all by it.
This phase is characterized by a sense of loneliness, insecurity and that of self-discovery.
It is also the phase when all the love and care that a parent since childhood has nourished the child with tends to blossom out with its fragrance and color.
A great manifestation of the love shared will be reflected in the personality and social well-being of the child.
As the child struggles to gain its ground in the survival battlefield, the sense of emotional support and the umbrella care of his her parents will give the strength to fight his/her battle.
Love by parent in such a phase is often tacitly felt and expressed rather than explicitly expressed.
We live in a technological age of great amount of din and distraction.
The amount of time a parent is able to spend with children is reducing by the day.
There could be multiple reasons for this.
For the working parents, time is constraint.
For the child, distractions in the form of gadgets, television and other sources could keep them away from spending time with parents.
Therefore it is becoming critical for the coming age that our affection and concern needs to be demonstrative and also be conspicuous.
It needs to be affirmed and re-iterative such that there is a mutual acknowledgement of the same by both parties concerned.
