Children aren’t very complicated as we make them to be. Parenting is difficult but love is what the child wants. Parents complicate matters. Children are learning constantly and their future is shaping right in front of parents.
Parents believe that we need to over schedule with activities or over indulge children with toys. Or, sometimes parents just give the kids technology and hope they’re quiet. But really children only require the basics of attention and they can grow up happy. Here are ten things that are really super fun for them.
- Talk to them. No need to lecture, yell or give orders all of the time. Talk about your childhood, dreams, your life, secrets etc. Just be you and share. Ask them about the important things of their day.
- Tuck them in bed. Read a story, sing a song, giggle, pray. Having a nice bedtime routine helps them feel confident.
- Let them snuggle with you to watch a favorite tv show. Share a soft blanket.
- Be involved in their life. Keep up on their grades, ask them how they’re feeling, highs and lows of the day.
- Play with them. Put down the phone and technology to play. Build a house, play dolls, cars, be silly.
