Most parents don't understand that parenting is all about Relationship. As a parent, the closer you are to you kids, the greater the influence you have over them. You can guide you kids better, steer them in the right direction and make them open up to you easily about occurrences in their lives when you have a cordial Relationship with them.

The very first thing you owe your kids is yourself - your time and attention. Those are what endear them to you and you to them. I Have seen parents whose kids never lacked anything in life because they (the parents) always ensure that their kids never lacked anything in life, but they hardly had time for their kids and no Relationship with the kids. And the kids resented them for that and moved away from them when they had the resources to cater for themselves without any second thought.

And I have also seen parents that could not provide everything that their kids want but they invested themselves in their kids by always being there for them and the kids were very appreciative and never joke with anything that has to do with such parents. The more you give your kids your time and attention, the closer you get to them and the stronger the bond between you and them.

Relationship building with your kids is a very important aspect of Parenting that should never be neglected. Your kids will appreciate you for meeting their needs, but they will never forget the time you spent with them. It's what they will take into their adult life.

Your kids are more assured of your love and care when you have a relationship with them than when you just provide for their needs. You engrave yourself in their hearts every time you make yourself available to them and spend quality time with them. Know that your kids will not be kids forever. This means that you have a very limited time to engrave yourself in their hearts and make them indebted to you for life.

The only way you can do that is by building a cordial Relationship with them. If you fail to do this now, you'll never have another opportunity to correct it because your kids will be kids only once. Make your kids your priority and give them your time and attention today, so that tomorrow you won't look back and wonder how they grew so big with no pleasant memory of you in their hearts.

Give your kids your time and attention now that they are still young, if you want them to give you their time and attention when they have become grown ups.
