Building Rapport with Your Children | A Deeper Connection Through the Three Principles
Rapport is the sense of harmony and understanding that forms the foundation of a strong relationship. As parents, we naturally want to create rapport with our children, but this connection can sometimes feel strained or distant. Through the understanding of the Three Principles—Mind, Thought, and Consciousness—we learn that rapport with our children is not something we need to force or manage. It comes from understanding how our thoughts shape the way we relate to them and being fully present in the moment.
Thought and Rapport
The experience of rapport with our children is shaped by the thoughts we have about them in the moment. When we think positively and are present with them, rapport naturally deepens. On the other hand, when we get caught up in judgmental or distracted thinking, it creates a sense of distance. The Three Principles show us that these thoughts are fluid and ever-changing. As our thinking shifts, so too does our ability to connect with our children. Understanding that rapport is shaped by thought allows us to relax and focus on the present moment, rather than trying to control or manage the relationship.Â
Consciousness: Awareness of ConnectionÂ
Consciousness helps us become aware of our thinking and its impact on our relationship with our children. By becoming more conscious of the thoughts that are creating either closeness or distance, we gain the ability to let go of unhelpful thoughts and engage with our children with more empathy and understanding. This awareness helps us to be fully present, creating a natural sense of rapport that doesn’t require effort.Â
Mind: Trusting in the Wisdom of RelationshipsÂ
Mind, the deeper intelligence that guides life, also guides our relationships with our children. When we trust in this wisdom, we stop feeling the need to fix or control the relationship. Instead, we allow rapport to develop naturally. Mind provides us with the clarity and insight needed to connect with our children on a deeper level, helping us build relationships that are rooted in love, understanding, and mutual respect.Â

Conclusion

Rapport with your children comes from understanding the role of thought and being fully present with them. By becoming aware of your thinking and trusting in the wisdom of Mind, you can build stronger, more harmonious relationships with your children.Â
