The kind of involvement kids need from their parents is attentive and loving.
A sufficient measure of parental involvement is essential for a child’s development of a positive attitude and responsible behavior.
But not all forms of parent-child interaction produce desirable results.
Just being in the same room with a child while you pay only superficial attention to the child does not constitute constructive involvement.
Ignoring the child can cause the child to feel rejected, unimportant and sad.
This may cause the child to develop a passive, indifferent demeanor expressing a lack of motivation, self-respect and self-care.
Or it may incite the child’s rebellious, destructive behavior in retaliation.
Another form of parental involvement is reacting to the child’s behavior with a steady stream of impatience, annoyance and frustration. This negativity emanating from the parent is absorbed by the child and forms or fosters the child’s negative reaction patterns.
Do you believe that you spend enough time with your child? If not, what seems to be preventing you from doing that.
What are some ways that you can make the time you spend with your child more valuable for both of you?
