bonding with your children....important

Very true what you say ........ The family that prays together, eat together, bond together... stays together My entire family meets at my mum's hosue every Christmas (well except my brother but he is in the Airforce so is unable to come). My son and I spend alot of time together, he even comes to work with me 3 times a week minimum and helps me to muster sheep or goes out and helps the guys I work with. It makes him feel important, loved and wanted it really makes him happy to know we all need him, we tell him we need his help, but the truth is we all love having him around and love to keep work family orientated.

I believe that bonding with your kids is a lifetime adventure. You go through life stages with them, and learn to bond more with them as they grow. Without that bonding experience, I don't think that children will have the know how to bond with people in their life. I try to bond with my son daily, sharing a joke, playing a game, talking about life, answering his questions. We do all our animal chores together and sometimes the conversations during that time are some of the most memorable. For him to be a loving and caring adult when he grows up, I think that this bonding experience is very beneficial to him. I have friends that do not bond with their kids, and they have no clue what their own children like or want to be when they grow up. I think that is very sad, and I try to talk to them about it, but it doesn't seem to do any good.
