I have young dc; 6, nearly 3 and 10 months. I often think about how I hope that I will have a good relationship with them when they are older.
By this I mean that we will be respectful, understanding, kind and caring towards each other. I also hope that we will enjoy spending time together as a family.
If you have this with your older dc what did you do when they were younger/how do you think you achieved this?
My thoughts are that its important to set the foundations now. By listening, talking and playing with them now. However, its not easy and I find myself impatient and tired more than I'd like.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and advice.
