It is important to build a good foundation for a relationship whether it is between you and a child, young person or adult. Respect, trust, understanding and patience are all vitally important. If these components aren’t apparent in the relationship then there will not be one.

Honoring the child’s ideas and thoughts – as important as our own sets the foundation

4. Why is it important for a parent to create a strong bond with a child

We know that parental involvement is important for children, but I don't think a child's

One of the most important things that a caregiver provides a child is a healthy relationship. The relationship held between a child and their caregiver is extremely important for emotional

I believe that next thing any parent must not forget about is trust. Being consistent with your child is of paramount importance because that's how trust is supported. Being consistent is not changing the rules half way through the game. Being consistent is not promising rewards that kids will never see. Being consistent is not threatening punishment without carrying it through. From the very first day on Earth children put trust in their parents and it must not be betrayed because once it is, once children find out they have been lied to, you will have to literally put yourself out to win it back.

In order for children to have a high sense of esteem, parents need to provide validation of their child's growing abilities and acomplishments. They must validate their child's sexuality, individuality and care and respect.

What I found meaningful that is not only intense relationship between parents and child impacts on the process of the building child's personality and development, but also complex and tangled relationship between siblings, which sometimes has even stronger effect. For me, as forth and youngest child of full- and over-time working parents it was interesting to read this article, which throws light on relationship between me and my sisters. Indeed, as children of busy parents, sometimes we were more exposed to each other than to parents, that had impact in our relationship and personal development. I should mention, that in our culture we have a tradition, when (where?) oldest child is raised and reared as "main" child. Parents do more emphasis on the nurturing of the firstborn, to build strong example, as indirect influence, for subsequent kids, so did it mine. For example, my oldest sister she had good academic performance, which for us younger kids, would work more like a stimulus for success, rather than subject of jealousy. In another hand I, as youngest child, would often received almost undivided mother's attention, which certainly

Trust: When parents provide everything the child needs, the child would believe that the world is reliable.

When children see their parents involved in a meaningful way, they may benefit from the confidence and self-esteem that comes with feeling secure in their parents’ commitment to their well-being (Col. State).

Parents are usually the first people a child comes face to face with. This means parents are the first people a child relies on. A child may start forming relationships with their maids or nannies, but the relationship they have with their parents is the most important of all. A parent-child relationship is composed of expressing feelings through communication and interaction. Parent-child relationships start developing at a child’s early age and continue to grow as both of them get older. This relationship is a type of distinct bond between a parent and a child. This is how they interact with each other, whether it is physically, socially, or emotionally. The relationship we have with our parents may or may not have an impact on who we are today, but overall we still act similar to them and live about the same lifestyle as them since so much time is spent with each other. Many believe that the relationship between a parent and child is important to who we will become in the future and how we interact with others. So much of our lives are affected by our parents. We are taught the basic rules of life by them and learned the difference between right and wrong from them. An example of a strong parent-child relationship is when the child feels that are capable of talking to their parents about anything, knowing that their parents are there for them. They know and understand each other well. However, not every child is fortunate to have a strong relationship with their parents. This does not mean their parents are not there for them, but it means they do not get along when they are together. This is shown in the book Maus, by Art Spiegelman, where he presents his father’s story of surviving the Holocaust and talking about the relationship he shares with his father, Vladek Spiegelman. Artie and Vladek do not get along due to many factors such as their differences and the competition Artie feels he has. This leads them to have a rough relationship. Regardless of their rocky relationship, Vladek and Artie still love each other. They do not show each other their love through words, but through their actions.

If it wasn’t for the time I spent with my parents as a child, I wouldn’t be the man I am today. Bonding is when two share memorable time together. They share a special connection between one another; they trust one another and see eye to eye. Bonding is when two people enjoy being around each other and have a relationship. Bonding is a very crucial part of life; it is most important when you are young. A child needs to bond with its mother and father so he knows who they are and that they are there for him. No one needs to be alone in this world. They need someone they can share a connection with. Someone they can trust. I was graceful enough to be able to bond with both of my parents. It made a huge impact on my life. It makes me very happy and feel wonderful to know I can always bond with my parents. (Thesis) I share a loving connection with them because we bonded when I was just a child.
