Taking the lead in bringing warmth, enjoyment, and delight into our daily lives creates a positive bond to build strength in our relationship with our children across our lifespan.
Every day we can take the lead in some area of our lives. How can we do that with our children?
Here are some bonding tips you can incorporate into your daily life.
- Blowing bubbles
- Swinging in the park
- Playing hopscotch down the sidewalk
- Throwing a football
- Planting some flowers
- Drinking lemonade while sitting outside with your older children
What other ideas do you have?
Soft hearts, fun and smiles can help you take the lead in creating a bond which will initiate the type of relationship that will grow a secure, healthy attachment for your child.
