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.

1. Make a date
   with your child.
2. Read with
   them.
3. Make time
   with them after work.
4. Have everyone
   share their highs & lows of their day at the dinner table.
5. Work on a
   goal together with your child.
6. Play with
   the children at their level.
7. Talk to the
   children in the car.
8. Have a Family
   Day… no work, no cleaning… just fun stuff with the family.
9. Have weekly
   Family Meetings.
10. 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!!
