Did you know how important this little things are for your child ???
Telling a good night story, singing a song before you leave your child in the kindergarten, three magic kisses, the magic box that catches the night mares
Bedtime rituals help children get ready for bed. The song makes it easier to say goodbye. The three magic kisses are something just between you and your child. The magic box gives security and a good feeling.
Without rituals you and your child can go through a hard time in certain situations.
Children discover the world. Everything is exciting, new and sometimes even scary.
So when situations like bedtime or going to the kindergarten comes, a lot of children have problems.
They need rituals to undertstand that something will happen.
When bedtime arrives and you sing or tell a story it's a clear what will happen, with this rituals children can peacefully close their eyes because they know that the day ends here.
Children need structure and repetition. It is very important to create and do the same things right before.

Structure and repetition gives your child security, stability and a feeling that everything is good.
So don't think that the little things you do are stupid or don'have a deeper meaning ... It makes your child feeling save and confirms the special relation you both have!!!
Hope to hear your oppinion, Karolina

That's great ...
it's amazing what parents do to give their children a warm, save feeling and the MOST important ... the feeling to be loved so much!

Hi!

I started this ritual with my three daughters and I am trying to continue it with my grandchildren.

Set aside one evening per week and take your child on a special outing or as was the case for me a "date" with my daughters.

Go to a movie, take a walk in the park, watch the sunset, travel to the ice cream store, go to the circus. Let your imagine go wild as you consider what you would like to do with your little one. And, they are never to young for you to start.

The relationship that I have with my daughters today is built on the foundation of our "dates" when they were young.

Enjoy your children!
