Not all modern parents have so much free time that it can be divided among everything without any harm.

That is, time for rest, work, personal interests and family interests, but most importantly – games or communication with children.

We'll tell you about the "three-minute rule" that you need to follow even if you work from home.

The three minute rule

Actually, there is nothing complicated about this, you just need to find just three minutes of time after each absence or period of time when you were unable to devote time to your child.

Then you need to look the child in the eyes and ask him how he spent this time.

It is extremely important to listen to everything the child says without breaking eye contact.

Even if you don't learn anything special, show interest in everything the heir says and listen, rather than pretending to hear.

This simple technique will help you build a trusting relationship with your child that will last for years.

Don't ignore

Otherwise, you may miss something important in your child’s life.

One day he will want to say something special, but he will forget or think that it is not important for his parents.

If you don't listen carefully, one day the child will stop paying attention to you, thinking that he is being ignored.
