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.
-
Limit and monitor TV viewing. A child watching TV is not interacting with you.
-
Key into their unique interests. For some it might be going to a ball game, for others shopping at the mall or baking cookies.
