Children might say "I hate you" to their parents for various reasons, and it can be a very hurtful experience for both the child and the parent. It's important to remember that when children say hurtful things like "I hate you," they're usually not trying to be malicious. Instead, they're likely expressing some unmet need or frustration. As a parent, responding to your child's words with empathy and understanding is important, rather than reacting with anger or punishment. Acknowledging your child's emotions and addressing the underlying issue can help build a stronger and more positive relationship with your child.

Establishing that connection with the child takes effort and time which is a little difficult in this ever-busy and chaotic world. Here are a few tips to establish that secure feeling in your child in less than 10 minutes.

- Carve out a special YOU time with your child, wherein you get to spend time with your child far away from all the distractions.

- Always remember the 9-minute rule advocated by child psychologists. Try to spend at least 3 minutes if not all those 9 minutes with your child on a daily basis

- Take interest in their hobbies and passions. Learn a new hobby or a game together

- Read the books or do the household chores together

- Spend time away from the distracting gadgets amidst nature.

As the child starts attending school, most of our interactions with the child would center around different transactions of completing various chores like assignments, tests, attending extra classes. We all tend to lose that connection or bonding with the child, as we also get occupied with other things in life. 

But the child really needs us and our time to grow up into an Emotionally and Mentally Strong Adult. But we only have 24 hours, so spending time with the kids has become a mandatory task which has stopped giving us any results. Hence, this episode talks about re-establishing that bond with the child in a given limited time. Once that connection is established then the boundaries could be set without any power struggles with the child. 

This episode gives the simple yet practical tips that have worked for a lot of parents like me and are easier to adopt.
