There are a few tips to provide quality time with your kids:

Develop a Plan of Action:

  • Prioritize activities that your child enjoys and that encourage positive interaction.
  • Plan age-appropriate activities that allow for shared experiences and meaningful conversations.
  • Be flexible in your plan to accommodate your child's preferences and interests.

Stay Dedicated Without Distractions:

  • Create a designated time for focused interaction without interruptions.
  • Avoid multitasking or engaging in activities that may divert your attention.
  • Demonstrate genuine interest and active listening to strengthen the connection.

Keep Away from Your Mobile Phone and Social Media:

  • Set boundaries by putting away electronic devices during your dedicated time.
  • Minimize the temptation to check messages or browse social media platforms.
  • Show your child that they have your undivided attention, enhancing the quality of your interaction.

Avoid Gossip:

  • Refrain from discussing sensitive or inappropriate topics that could make your child uncomfortable.
  • Maintain a positive and uplifting atmosphere during your time together.
  • Model respectful communication to instill similar values in your child.


Steer Clear of Negative Discussions:

  • Keep conversations optimistic and constructive, focusing on positive aspects.
  • Shield your child from unnecessary stress by avoiding discussions about adult concerns.
  • Foster a safe space where your child feels comfortable expressing themselves without fear of negativity.

By following these roles, you create an environment where your child feels valued, heard, and loved. These moments of quality time contribute significantly to their emotional well-being and the overall strength of your parent-child relationship.

Bedtime stories

As parents, we are always busy with different levels of work. Official, household chores, social communications, and many more. We have limited time to warm up our bonding. Despite my busy schedule, I managed time for Neel's (my son) bedtime.  Neel's bedtime started at 8:30-9:30pm. Before fall asleep both of us interact about numerous topics. First 10-15 minutes we discuss an imaginary world that is Hot wheel cars, Airplanes, SMART house, Space station, Dinosaurs, Dragon, Solar systems, and many more. Thereafter I started to tell some short stories that give him morale to his inquisitive mind for about 5-8 minutes. Finally, I sing lullabies cuddle over a hand. Normally I sing only one lullaby but sometimes more than two songs. Simultaneously I also massage his foot, head, and hand. I often massage the back and whole body for his ultimate relaxation. This is the precious moment of both of us or Ourtime . This may be reciprocal and I also feel ultimate relaxation....
