This means being honest with each other and accepting each other&rsquo;s flaws go hand in hand. Being genuine in a relationship fosters intimacy, candor, trust, and acceptance. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Providing the connection is founded on real purpose, there is no need for someone to filter out the elements of themselves that may not make them seem \u00ab\u00a0perfect\u00a0\u00bb to the other person.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is not a single individual who does not sometimes feel depressed, irritable, angry, or afraid. Occasionally, these emotions get a firm hold and last for a while. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though you&rsquo;re feeling a lot of different things, your kids are probably watching everything you do. They may not know the specifics, but they are intelligent and would certainly recognize when your outside does not match your inside.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It makes sense that we would want to protect your kids from the bad parts of growing up. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/283073504_Parenting_Well_When_You&#039;re_Depressed_A_Complete_Resource_for_Maintaining_a_Healthy_Family\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A new study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> suggests that putting on a constant smile and masking your emotions may not be healthy for yourself or your children. The research found that parents who \u00ab\u00a0try to be perfect\u00a0\u00bb for their kids are more likely to be less happy, have weaker relationships with their kids, and be less aware of what their kids need. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As parents, one of our most essential responsibilities is to cultivate our children&rsquo;s understanding of uncomfortable emotions and guide them through dealing with their inner feelings.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do big emotions look like? What do they think? What is their meaning? How do I approach them? What if these muddled emotions belong to someone I love?\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are all questions we\u2019ve asked ourselves at least once in our lives. As kids, these questions revolve around creating an identity for oneself and answering the question, \u00ab\u00a0Who am I, and where do I fit?\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0<\/span><\/p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseprofile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/suzyapp.com\/en\/start-sharing-your-feelings-with-your-kids-5-reasons\/#Understanding_the_relationship_between_children_and_emotions\" >Understanding the relationship between children and emotions<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/suzyapp.com\/en\/start-sharing-your-feelings-with-your-kids-5-reasons\/#Tips_to_improve_the_relationship_between_your_child_you_and_emotions\" >Tips to improve the relationship between your child, you, and emotions \u00a0<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/suzyapp.com\/en\/start-sharing-your-feelings-with-your-kids-5-reasons\/#Always_demonstrate_your_affection_for_your_children\" >Always demonstrate your affection for your children<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/suzyapp.com\/en\/start-sharing-your-feelings-with-your-kids-5-reasons\/#Give_them_your_focus\" >Give them your focus<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/suzyapp.com\/en\/start-sharing-your-feelings-with-your-kids-5-reasons\/#Create_rituals_and_customs\" >Create rituals and customs<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/suzyapp.com\/en\/start-sharing-your-feelings-with-your-kids-5-reasons\/#Closing_Thoughts\" >Closing Thoughts\u00a0<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_the_relationship_between_children_and_emotions\"><\/span><b><i>Understanding the relationship between children and emotions<\/i><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a study conducted by the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4437215\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NCBI,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the notion that emotions hold value, reflects knowledge and acceptance of them. Parents who think it&rsquo;s important for kids to share their feelings say that both good and bad feelings give kids chances to learn and grow.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Parents who don&rsquo;t value emotions are more likely to coach their children&rsquo;s emotions, while parents who value both positive and negative emotions may create environments that are more open to, sensitive to, and accepting of their children&rsquo;s emotions. So, these beliefs may give children the chance to learn how to recognize and talk about their own and other people&rsquo;s feelings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In contrast, parents who believe that frequent or powerful emotional experiences are harmful or hazardous for their children may try to protect their children from seeing their own emotional experiences by hiding or masking their own emotions. Initially, this may reduce the number of chances for children to learn about emotions. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With time, though, this may change as kids try harder to figure out what their parents are feeling and thinking because their emotions are getting harder to read. In the research on how expressive families are, this pattern has been seen: when children are very young, there is a link between how expressive their parents are and how well they can recognize emotions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, this relationship starts to change when children are in elementary school, and it becomes more negative over time. The change means that kids whose parents aren&rsquo;t as expressive are better able to understand how other people are feeling than kids whose parents are more expressive. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nevertheless, there is a major gap between being able to recognize others\u2019 feelings and being able to articulate their own. This means that being raised by an emotionally distant parent or guardian may result in a lifetime of unstable connections, unsuccessful relationships, or emotional neediness as an adult.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_to_improve_the_relationship_between_your_child_you_and_emotions\"><\/span><b>Tips to improve the relationship between your child, you, and emotions <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thepillarsclc.com\/why-a-parent-child-relationship-is-important\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Pillars<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the relationship between a parent and a child is one of the strongest and most real a person can ever have, and they believe that the following practices, when used consistently, can strengthen your bond with your child:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Always_demonstrate_your_affection_for_your_children\"><\/span><em><b>Always demonstrate your affection for your children<\/b><\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every parent must tell their children that they love them. This may seem quite simplistic, but it&rsquo;s essential. Children must always feel cherished and protected. Regardless of their age, make it a point to let them know you love them as they grow up. Despite arguments and misunderstandings, make them feel unconditionally loved.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Give_them_your_focus\"><\/span><em><b>Give them your focus<\/b><\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Busy schedules are not and should never be an excuse for not spending sufficient time with your child. Always devote time and focus to them. Take the time to sit with them as they play with their toys, watch television, or eat their food. Simply converse with them, engage them in play, and offer them your complete attention.<\/span><\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_rituals_and_customs\"><\/span><em><b>Create rituals and customs<\/b><\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Developing rituals and customs enhances a child&rsquo;s sense of safety. Develop routines that will last a lifetime when they are still young. For instance, you may set rituals for bedtime. Before putting them to bed at night, read them books. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, set up a weekly family routine where you do the same thing every weekend, like a family meal on Sunday or a movie night on Saturday. No matter how old they are or what their traditions are, you should always do things with your family that bring them closer together.<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Closing_Thoughts\"><\/span><b><i>Closing Thoughts\u00a0<\/i><\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to the relationship between you and your child, there are instances where disagreements are likely to arise, and this often increases with age. Permissive parenting is becoming more popular because people think that giving kids more freedom makes them more responsible and independent. <\/span><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/suzyapp.com\/en\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SuzyApp<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> believes that every child deserves to have the freedom to explore what they want to learn, how they want to learn and for how long. With the help of psychological concepts of \u2018delayed gratification\u2019, we allow the sequencing of educational and recreational applications on devices, helping children and parents be healthier about their screen time. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SuzyApp redirects children to use a learning application for a certain amount of time before switching to a recreational game as a reward for learning something new.
