Quality Time Is Very Important To Both Your Child And Yourself
Our children desire a connection with us as their parents. Spending uninterrupted one-on-one quality time reduces tension and unwanted behaviors.
Although we see our kids often (some more than others), we may not be spending the time that fosters deep connection. It is proven that spending quality time with each of our children has many benefits.
Our kids:
👉 𝘎𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦.
👉 𝘍𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘦.
👉 𝘎𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦.
👉 𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘣𝘦𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.
👉 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘯𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴.
👉 𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦.

👉 𝘉𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘢 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶.
This time also helps you see your kids in a different light, allows you to have more empathy and enjoy who they are.
Quality time is very important to both your child and yourself, and can make your life as a parent easier; as you can see by the very long list above! 😉
