Things Kids Want From Parents

Family is a place where the members learn to love, understand and forgive to each other. Parents are not the only party who dominate and dictate the children, because children have voice to be listened to as well.

People (including us) sometimes pay more attention to what we want from our children, but we forget about what the children want from us. In fact, there are several things the kids want from us, but they probably never tell you about these wishes. Here are some of the examples.

Spend the time just with them. Not our friends. You probably have more than one child at home. You probably do not realize that each of them want you to have time only with one child. She or he wants you to sit, hug and talk privately without other siblings around.

Besides, kids want you to sing a song for them. Sure, listening to your story when you were a kid would be something interesting to them. Not only useful for bonding, sharing your story will be good to let them learn more about a lot of things: your experience, your values, etc.

But please remember that they do not only want to be with their parents all day long. Kids want to play outside a lot as well. They need to know and socialize with other kids, which is the important part of their mental development.

Since education is not only obtained from schools, they expect you to teach them about discipline. For them, it shows that you want the best for them. And yes, it shows that you care. Do you have other ideas you got or ever heard from your kids? Share with us!
