We watch our kids while they are playing so they don't dash into the street, run with scissors or poke their eye out doing something careless. Beyond being a referee, are we missing a chance to really observe our children's point of view on the world?
There is a fantastic quote that says, "We get to see who are children really are through a crack in the door." Watch closely. Understanding who they truly are will hep you customize your parenting skills with each child according to their needs. You can use these observations to customize your style of discipline, reward systems and even which talents to expand upon. All of this and more can be improved if you just start studying your kids.
Ask yourself: What makes my child's eyes light up? What are they good at? What makes them laugh? When are they at their most vibrant? What is one thing that you know about them that no one else can see?
