Times have changed greatly and with new times come new habits, sets of behavior, and attitudes that seem very different from the ones we were used to when we were kids.

Today’s generations are all geared up with the new technologies that seem to distract them from the need to go out to play and enjoy their childhood, even their ” early childhood classes”, socialize in the ways we used to or just spend time playing and having fun.

All these changes brought great challenges to all parents who, if you ask a kid, weren’t fortunate enough to have the benefits of today’s modern technology.

The challenges vary in too many ways, but the main things are that today’s parents raise their children way more differently than they were raised and the outcome of those parents’ care is the greatest challenge.

Will my kid learn to be a good person, the one who pushes forward and a person with good manners, who can bond and communicate with others openly and freely?

All parents ask the same questions: Am I missing something? Am I doing everything right? Will my child succeed in his future life? ” how to help my child succeed in school ”??

Psychologists at Harvard University have thought of the same questions and have found that there are several elements that are still very important and basic for every kid’s childhood, and for ” positive parenting ” The key to upbringing a well-adjusted child in these changing times isn’t as complicated as you may believe.

BELOW ARE THE FIVE WAYS AND SECRETS TO ” RAISING HEALTHY CHILDREN ” AND AN EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT CHILD, ACCORDING TO HARVARD PSYCHOLOGISTS

1. SPENDING QUALITY TIME WITH YOUR CHILDREN

It’s not enough just to be physically around your kids – you have to be with them completely. This means that no new ” iPhone ” or Xbox console can replace the bonding that the child truly needs. By communicating with them openly, listening carefully and doing the things they like together, your child will not only love you more, but will also learn how to be a considerate and caring person, and remember their childhood as a good experience.

This is the foundation of it all. Your kid would very much prefer having a real person to share ideas, experiences and to talk with, even if they may not seem aware of it.

Ask them how their school was, listen carefully and discuss the dilemmas they might have in their head – be careful not to ‘dogmatize’ lessons from your experiences though, they need to have experienced these things through their own perspective. We’ll talk about this later in this article.

See what their favorite things are and try to learn from them how to play the games they like and enjoy more – they would enjoy sharing their ‘fun’ with you!

Read them a book before they go to bed (or do it together during the day if they are in the mood for doing it). Just be around them completely and acknowledge their emotions and their feelings.

Practically speaking:

Devote some time of your day to enjoy their favorite…
