Time with parents is very important for children. Whether you are a full time working parent or stay at home, it is necessary to make time for your kids. Quality time has a direct effect on the relationship between parents and kids. Each contact will have an immediate impact and provide your children with the help and reassurance they need. Don't make it hard for your children, communicate in ways that are conducive to your lifestyle and relationship. Ask your children how they'd like to spend time with you. Would they like to play baseball or have a dance party? It's not just an empowerment to give them control, it may also be a wonderful surprise that you might discover something new about their interest than you had known.
If you have a schedule and rituals in place, life moves more smoothly. schedule and rituals help us and the kids figure out what to expect, how things will turn out. schedule and rituals can be used to spend quality time with the kids. If children are sleeping alone, that means they've had to take care of themselves. In the morning, that may cause children to become particularly in need. By taking a moment first thing you can squash this attention-seeking behavior and starting the day off positively. This has benefits for everyone. Kids in the morning need to be cared for and loved.
Take a little time to talk when your kids wake up. Whether it's cuddling, playing a non-stimulatory game, taking deep breaths, or stretching. Maybe you make sure to include them in the process of making breakfast. Talk about the day ahead or plan your snacks and meals together.
Choose your favorite song or new tune you've both just heard and sing it to your baby in the bath. Make teeth brushing a game. If your child is into space, for example, you can pretend they are destroying asteroids with each and every stroke. Before you go to bed, read a story. Let them read to you if your baby is older.
As soon as your kids get home from school, you ask how their day was and, nine times out of ten, you'll get the run of the mill "it was good." Wasn't it all real, though? Take some time to figure out how they've been all day, whether it was over dinner or you tucked them into bed. What have they learned in class that is of great interest to them? At lunch, were they trying something new? At the recess, who was they playing with? The key to this conversation is to make it less of a routine question and more of a launching pad for quality time, to talk about things that are important to your child's day to day routine.
Think about the last time you were with your kid taking a photo. Did you laugh with each other? Daily selfies are kind of hilarious and addictive. You can create a photo book or slideshow when you have the years worth of pictures. It's not just for fun at the moment, but it's also entertaining to go back and see them. Everyone likes to see themselves on camera and video, so let's make sure your baby has a great family memory.
Kids are fond of playing with their parents. It has so many amazing features, like promoting bonding, making them involved and even burning a couple of calories. Even though your kids won't be able to understand it, exercising together is the ultimate quality time with each other. By exercising regularly, you've been adding years to your life. You'll get the benefit of those little moments of bonding while working out each day. You can play tag, learn racquetball, shoot hoops, or if your kids are younger, you can push them on the swings and see how many swings they're capable of, while you're walking around the yard or playing in the park.
Make and eat meals with your children whenever possible. Cooking for a family can feel like a chore to you, but to your child who craves time with you, it is a special time together. Working together with your kids, they will learn lots of useful life skills in addition to getting that time with you.
If your kids have regular chores, maybe pick one day a week when you are not rushed and plan to tackle chores together. They will get to learn new life skills and you get to spend time together, and as you get better at working together, you will get through the to-do list faster! More quality time to spend together!
Kids who help out around the house will begin to see themselves as important contributors to the family. This brings connection and an increased sense of self-esteem.
Do not lose yourself on your phone or talk to other parents, but play with the children. It is your turn to organize a hide and seek tournament or initiate a slide style competition.
It is not uncommon that screen time plays an important role in children lives. We can do what we can to grasp its essence. Have a look at your childs video games. You can learn to play them and experience this part of your child's world.
It helps if you play with your children, because it connects you to them and what they are interested in.
In your day to day life, you don't actually escape from technology. From school and work to the nightly news and winding down, screens are everywhere. In life, they have a crucial role to play. Now we're all very attached to technology. Would you consider taking a tech time out as a family if it meant you would be tending to your child emotional needs? It is tough to begin with, but if you stay focused and make the most memories, it will be less of a struggle.
But there is no need to have any tech involved when you're spending quality time with your child. A great way of bonding is to play board games. Sports are active and engaging, and you can dance or sing too. What matters is that you play to your child's interests.
Maybe it is the opposite of Tech Timeout, but you can build a stronger family by planning your own special movie night! It is more than just laying around watching TV. You'd be able to add some fun popcorn boxes, sit on a couch and turn the lights off before watching your favorite new movie.
Another fun way to spend quality time with your kids is to introduce them to games and shows you grew up with as a kid. There are many games that involve strategy and numeracy skills, which help to make learning fun. A lot of old movies and TV still tell timeless stories and teach valuable lessons, and you and your children will be amazed at how quickly time passes when you're having fun together.
