10 Ideas for Quality Time with the Kids

I will be the first to admit that life is busy. I find that I don’t have much time by myself. I am a Wife and a Mother of five children ranging in age from nearly 17 all the way down to 4. I also run a busy business out of my home. However, I try to make sure that I spend some quality time with each of my children every single day. Here are 10 ideas for just that…

I came across a wonderful post at ZenHabits. ZenHabits lists ten ideas for spending quality time with the kids. I have summarized the list of 10 ideas below. Make sure to check out the post in it’s entirety.

Make a date with your child.
Read with them.
Make time with them after work.
Have everyone share their highs & lows of their day at the dinner table.
Work on a goal together with your child.
Play with the children at their level.
Talk to the children in the car.
Have a Family Day… no work, no cleaning… just fun stuff with the family.
Have weekly Family Meetings.
Snuggle Time!!!

We all lead busy lives. And, our busy lives probably are not about to slow down anytime soon. But, our kids will be grown up in no time. Make sure to make time for your kids every single day. You and your kids will be better for it!!
