Frequently, the process of parenting is perceived as a clash between two opposing forces, rather than as a bond to be nurtured. This often stems from the parent's own upbringing. It is essential to carefully analyze our past, paying attention to signs of tension or frustration to avoid repeating past mistakes. Most importantly, a parent can only truly control their own choices and behaviors, so the focus should be on adjusting these rather than the child's actions. Recognize your habits of ignoring attention. When our kids display behavior seeking attention, we typically opt to disregard them. We are unable - and perhaps unwilling - to empathize with them because their actions bother us. We rationalize this neglect by finding other tasks to occupy us, like housework or paperwork. However, ignoring your child is likely to exacerbate their need for attention. Therefore, the next time they seek your attention, pay attention to whether you are subconsciously pushing back against their bothersome behavior by completely disregarding them. Overcome this instinct and involve them in whatever task you are engaged in instead.
