For most parents, this process is natural and instinctual with their children. It is commonplace for parents to plan their days, weeks, months and even years around various interests, activities, and opportunities to benefit and grow their children. This relational time and attention in-turn naturally grows the parent-child relationship and strengthens the parent-child bond.
The tone of the spousal relationship resonates throughout the home, and provides the foundation of a child’s development. Far greater than the impact of the sporting practices, ballet lessons, dance recitals, hours spent at the park, and the trendiest entertainment devices, is the model and experience a child has in the home. Children look to their parents to learn what it is to be a man, a woman, a parent, a spouse, a companion, a lover and a friend. The health and strength of the spousal relationship is foundational to joy and fulfillment, and strengthens the couple to bring their best self into the family dynamic. Take advantage of every simple moment. Through small and simple moments are great relationships created!
