Are you giving all your time and energy to your children but still feel like you're missing something? This episode will shed light on what you might be missing: intentional connection. We delve into this concept in parenting, unraveling how just 5-10 minutes of daily engagement can positively impact your relationship with your children. We also tackle the high expectations kids have for parental presence and why being permanently available may not always be best. Instead, we inspire you to create mutually respectful  dynamic where everyone's needs matter.Ever felt 'over-present' yet under-connected with your kid? We've been there too, and that's why we're sharing insightful perspectives on how to authentically connect with your children. In this conversation, we navigate around effective language, turning even the most mundane tasks into opportunities for building respectful relationships. We encourage you to foster an environment where your children can feel heard and understood. We not only share the importance of using effective language but also how to implement it in day-to-day parenting. Tune in, and let's strengthen those parent-child bonds together.___Get your quick and actionable tips, blog/podcast updates and curated children's book recommendations by joining Tara's Take the Newsletter HEREYou can also submit questions directly to me at info@taragratto.ca or by heading to our website HERE------The music for this podcast is written and produced by Jazlyn B with the guidance of Sabine Ndalamba Note: This podcast is created for educational purposes only.
