Eye contact

Children need to look us in the eye and we need to look them in the eye. Exchanging eye contact is a very effective way to express love with anyone. Eye contact helps a parent know whether their child is withdrawn or not. A child who is withdrawn will have downcast eyes that look away from the parent's gaze. Advanced stages of withdrawal may push the child to completely distance themselves from their parents.

With younger children, it may be helpful to kneel down, look the child directly in the eyes, and then start a conversation.

I have often heard my wife Norma say to one of our children: "Now, look me directly in the eye" when she wants to question him about something or test his honesty. She claims that she can tell who is telling the truth from who is lying just by looking into his eyes. In fact, it is difficult for a child who keeps looking into the eyes of a parent if he is guilty, as he turns his gaze down or away from the father or mother’s gaze or his eyes begin to blink quickly. The child may rush to confess to the undesirable actions he has committed under the influence of the insistence of looking into the eyes with kindness and love.
