Don’t try to force it! You can’t really make anyone love you—and that includes both kids and adults. However, a kid is more likely to love you if you treat them with kindness and respect. Be reliable, so they know they can trust you. Be there for them when they need you, do your best to be patient with them, and talk to them about things they find interesting.

Staff Answer

There are lots of ways to show love to your child. One of the most obvious ones is to tell her you love her, but you can also tell her about specific ways that you appreciate her—for example, “I love how curious and creative you are!” or “Thanks so much for all your help today, you’re being so responsible.” You can also show love by doing things for her (like doing fun activities or getting her things that she wants or needs) or using affectionate touches, like a hug or a pat on the back.

Staff Answer

Being good with kids is a lot like being good with anyone else. If you’re patient, compassionate, and respectful with kids, they’ll usually enjoy being around you. You’ll be able to tell if they enjoy your company if they seem relaxed and happy around you.

Question

I'm going to the children's hospital today to play with disabled patients. What should I do if they don't want to play a lot of games?

Community Answer

If they don't want to play games, you could read them stories, or make up a story (or you could ask them to make up a story for you). You could also just talk to them. Ask about their favorite singers, favorite toys, favorite food, etc. Kids like to talk about themselves.

Do an activity or game that includes them all, such as a board game or a movie.

Question

I know a kid who doesn't really trust me and doesn't want to talk to me that much. How do I make her trust me and like playing with me?

Community Answer

Trust takes time, so it will be hard work! Just try to find what interests her, and be nice to her.

Question

I am going to babysit my friend's four-year-old brother and six-year-old sister, but they don't speak much English, and sometimes throw fits when they play with each other. What do I do?

Community Answer

Do some bonding activities and play some games with them. It's always a good idea to have them working together towards the same goal, like creating a craft project. Also, read them stories and teach them some English words.

Question

What can I do if my cousin gets upset when I have to tell her no?

Community Answer

Every little kid hates the word "no" but you have to use it sometimes to make sure they follow the rules and boundaries. Simply say "no" and briefly tell her why the behavior is not allowed. If she throws a tantrum, ignore it, she'll realize that it is no way to get a reaction from you.

Question

What if they are a little buddy at my school?

Community Answer

Make them feel special by giving them something they might want--within reason, of course! It will be wonderful seeing their faces light up when they open the gift.
