Most parents communicate with their children by talking to them, but not necessarily by listening to them. The older our children get, the more we focus on two-way communication with them. Frequently, what we don’t hear from our children is a lot more important than what we do here.

As your child moves through teen years, they may tend to try and lock you out of their world, and the only way to try and enter their world is by talking with them and listening to them. If you dismiss their concerns or don’t allow them to voice their opinions, someone else surely will.

But they must enjoy every bit of it. This will help them to reference it each time and these will not only create the connection you desire immediately but will help preserve the bond you create for life.

Telling of bedtime stories is an avenue to educate and assure your child that he or she is protected and loved. These memories keep them happy and going even when you are not there. Each time your child remembers those wonderful stories they yearn for more.
