Five Ways to Connect With Your Child
In Touch, Martin has a hard time connecting with his
son, Jake. In this feature, we will provide parents with helpful tips on
how they can better connect with their children, including having
weekly family meals and making yourself more available to talk, attend
events, etc.
Prepare Family Dinner
Set aside one evening a week when your family can prepare and
eat dinner together. Allow each person to choose the recipe of the week
and set a rotating schedule so everyone has a chance to make a favorite
dish. Not only will you be spending time with one another, but your
children will learn basic cooking skills while you learn more about
their favorite foods.
Attend Sporting Event or Extracurricular Activity
No matter what activities your children take part in, stay
up-to-date on how practices or rehearsals are going. Ask when special
events or performances occur so you can plan your schedule ahead of time
in order to attend. Remaining informed and involved in your children’s
interests is key in expressing how proud you are to be their parents.
Family Game Night
A fun way to connect with your kids is to plan a family game
night a few times a month. There are many options out there from classic
board games like Monopoly to word games like Catch Phrase. A nice way
to end a game night is to have the winner choose their favorite place to
grab dessert at a local ice cream or frozen yogurt shop.
Photo Sharing Project
A creative way of connecting with your children is by doing a
photo project together. You can create a physical scrapbook using
supplies from a local art store. Or for the tech-savvy parents, you can
create a blog or photo e-book with your children. This is a great way of
sharing stories andremembering fun times.
Take an Evening Walk
One way to re-connect at the end of a busy day is to take an
evening walk with the entire family. Communication is key in keeping any
relationship healthy so this is a relaxing and easy way to talk with
your kids. Also, it is nice to be active with the family so switch it up
with a bike ride or rollerblading.
