Spending one on one time with each of your children is vital to building a strong, loving, lasting bond. And doing so will enable you to make a deposit in the memory banks of your child forever.
It doesn't have to be a big trip or a weekend away with your child for it to have special meaning to them. A few hours a week with each child, doing something of special interest to them, is all it takes to build better parent/child relationships.
It may be difficult, at first, for your child to decide on something for the two of you to do together. Here are some suggestions you could make:
* Visit a museum that neither of you have been to before. Check to see if there is a special exhibit coming up that might hold a special interest for your child.
* Take a train or bus ride just for the pleasure of sightseeing. Get off and explore if one of you sees something interesting along the way.
* Have a mother/daughter spa day. Girls like to be girls. Have a side by side manicure and pedicure.
* Pick an activity your child doesn't know about, like golf, hiking or fishing, and teach your child the basics of it.
* Experience something new to you both. Local continuing education classes through community education or school systems are a good place to look for these.
* Watch a great movie together and discuss it afterwards. Go to one of the remaining drive-in theaters for a special treat for your child. You can pack your snacks and take lawn chairs to sit outside and watch the movie.
There is no stronger way to build confidence in your children than to show them that they are loved. Spending time with them is a way to let them know that you enjoy their company and you think they are interesting to be around.
