8 Ways to Improve Parent-Child Relationships!
Being a parent is one of the hardest jobs in the world and sometimes our relationships with our children can become strained – especially during times of challenge. Here are 8 ways I can think of to improve the relationship between a parent and a child:
🧠 PLAY – Spending quality time playing with your child boosts their sense of value and connection. Play is one of the most powerful tools we can use to foster meaningful relationships with children. Let them take the lead on what game or toy they are enjoying the most at the moment and get involved!
🧠 DISCONNECT – We all live our lives through our phones and devices most of the time – we would be lost without them. It's so important that, when you are spending time with your child or talking to them, they feel you are present. Put away your phone, turn the TV off and show your child that you are listening and you are interested – they'll feel that extra little bit valued.
🧠 PRAISE – We can often get bogged down in addressing our children's poor behaviour choices and instilling our routines and boundaries. Children thrive on positive attention and praise. Make sure you catch your child doing the right thing and 'bigging up' those positive moments. The more we recognise our children making the right choices and they see this being rewarded, the stronger those brain connections will become!
🧠 OPENNESS – Ensure your child feels like they can come to you with anything. It can be really difficult not to let our emotions take the lead but, when it comes to the response to our children, they should feel like their parent will love and take care of them no matter what mistakes they may have made or difficulties they have faced. Being measured in our responses reminds children that we are always on their team and there is always usually a resolution we can find together
🧠 SPACE – All relationships require some space. As a parent, it is important to give your child that space. A child must also understand that their parents can’t tell them everything and may need time to themselves as self-care. The relationship is defined by the space that’s given to the other party.
🧠 RESPECT – Talk to your child politely, lend an ear to their problems, and most importantly, show the same respect. Respect is the cornerstone of a relationship that is progressive. We may be the elder but our children learn lessons about respect from our modelling and how we treat them and others around us.
🧠 ADAPT – You must adapt to your situation. A relationship cannot be built on one method that works for everyone. Every child is different and every stage of development poses different challenges. We have to grow WITH our children and recognise that what may work for them one day may have the opposite effect the next! (I know – it's a rollercoaster right!?)
🧠 TIME – Nothing is more effective in any relationship than the time we spend within it. Quality time with our children should be built in to everyday. It doesn't mean having to go out and spend money. It's movie nights on the sofa with bags of popcorn, kicking a ball together in the garden, sitting down to play video games together, laying down for a bedtime story on an evening, sitting at the table for a family meal… the opportunities are endless … See MoreSee Less

Childcare Choices – here to help you juggle family life
Calling all parents – need a hand juggling work, family and childcare? Every family is different but Childcare Choices can help
you find the support that fits your family, helping you balance the beautiful chaos of parenthood.
Early years education and formal childcare can support your child's social, emotional and cognitive growth, nurturing their
overall development. With opportunities to make new friends, interact with other children and build confidence – this safe,
nurturing environment with trained professionals can help give your child a great start in life, and you the choices you need.
From 15 and 30 hours childcare support for working parents, to Tax-Free Childcare and Universal Credit Childcare, there is a
wide range of offers that parents may be eligible for. Parents of 2 years old receiving additional forms of support, like Universal
Credit, can also get 15 hours early learning.
Wraparound childcare for primary school aged children before and after school has also started to expand, with more places
available across England. Eligible parents can use Tax-Free Childcare or Universal Credit Childcare to help pay for their place.
To use 15 or 30 hours childcare from 1 April, you will need to apply by 31st March. To do so, visit GOV.UK to apply for your code
and then share it with your childcare provider. To continue receiving the government support, you will need to reconfirm your
details every three months on your GOV.UK account.
Visit the Childcare Choices website to find out more and check your eligibility. … See MoreSee Less
