To make their child happy, parents only need… three minutes a day.

During this time, mom and dad should only listen carefully to the baby.

In what situation should this be done? The answer is simple: when parents pick up their child from kindergarten or meet them from school.

The point is simple: the baby has probably “accumulated” a lot of emotions during the day. The child needs to “let them out”.

When meeting with mom and dad after a short separation, the child wants to tell about everything that happened to him during the day.

What is the task of parents in this situation?

For at least three minutes, mom and dad should listen to the child attentively and with interest.

It is understandable that you are tired after a day of work. But still, do not show your child indifference to his stories.

Don't say: "I'm tired, let's do it later!"

Understand: a boy or girl needs to share their emotions with their parents right away.

In addition, try not to criticize the child in the first minutes after the meeting. The following phrases will be superfluous: “Why are you getting ready for so long?”, “Hurry up!”, “I don’t have time to listen to this nonsense!”

Follow the “three-minute rule” and you will see the first results after just a week: your baby will certainly look more cheerful and happy.
