Eye contact is one of the most powerful means we have to express our feelings to our children. But men aren't always very good at it with their kids. Dads need to make a conscious effort to look at their children in a loving, positive way. Fathers can tend to sort of gaze at nothing, almost looking through things during a deep soul-to-soul conversation...
Even if the child is in the midst of misbehavior, we can still make pleasant eye contact with that child. It's something we can do continuously. Eye contact is a way to keep your child's emotional tank full of unconditional love. The parent looks into the eyes of the child while the child is looking back. It's very simple, but boy is it complex in the child's brain.
