How to Connect With Your Kids
-
Make time to listen and listen well. Listen not just for what happened, but also for what your kids are telling you about their day through their actions and tone.

Read together. This teaches kids that books are not only a source of education but also of pleasure.
-
Play board games together. You'll interact with your children while having fun.

Key into their unique interests. For some it might be going to a ball game, for others shopping at the mall or baking cookies.
