6 Reasons to Spend One-on-One Time With Each of Your Kids

If you were from a big family you would understand how one on one time with your parents was something you really wished for. It made a difference if just you and mum went to the shops together or you and dad washed the car together.  Just as it was something you cherished as a child, so does your child. So try and set aside time for each of your children. 

Why is it important?

1. Your child can open up without having to fight for your attention. It allows your child to be his/her true self and let you know what he/she likes or thinks without any pressure. 

2. It lest your child know that you love them, as they are, and you value what they say and think as a person

3. It gives you time to understand your child's character.  Sometimes you may think a child has a certain behavior/character based on how the child behaves in a group setting, which is most probably incorrect

4.  It shows you do not have a favorite

5. Your child becomes more confident because they feel that they are being heard

So much character building happens in the early years of a child's life. Try not to miss it, be a major part of it
