Parenting Tips and Ideas

Time that you spend with your children does not automatically correlate into quality time spent with your children.

The activities that we engage in with our children can do wonders beyond building the parent child relationship.  This is not a post that will jump all over television, although I do believe it needs to be turned off more in most homes in America.  Watching television together can be an enjoyable experience for everybody involved if you still communicate during the show and don’t allow the brain drain effect to kick in.

There is so much to do though that will help you children discover who they are and what they like.  Take them on a hike.  Go out to dinner.  Go for a walk in the park.  Play on the playground… and I mean play.  Don’t sit on the bench while your kids play.

I wasn’t priveledged to have a father around a lot while I grew up.  I taught myself how to swim in a small, little pool.  I understand the imporatance of having a loving parent around.  Without my mother, I would be nowhere.

Don’t miss out on the wonderful years of your kids lives.  Take the time to make it quality, not just time.
