Hey Friends and Families,
The times when children are the most responsive and happy are when they are most connected with their parents. Everything from getting down on their eye level, physical touch, and committed attention makes a big difference. When it comes to fostering self-discipline and self-esteem, children need CONNECTION more than anything else!
To build CONNECTION with children, we can have fun with some of the following activities:
Activity 1: Tag – The simple activity of running around boosts the ‘feel good’ chemical of endorphins!
Activity 2: Art – Create a piece of art together and proudly display it in your home or gift it to someone special!
Activity 3: Hide-and-seek – Take turns hiding yourselves or hiding objects for loads of family fun!
Activity 4: Tickle time or Wrestling – Physical touch boosts the ‘feel good’ chemical of oxytocin.
Activity 5: Martial Arts – Working out with blocks, kicks and punches is a great way to get in shape!
Activity 6: Rock Concert – Music is a great way to bond, regardless of if you have any musical skill!
Activity 7: Dance off – Dancing is a fun way to exert energy and let loose!
The goal is to complete one activity per day and initial each activity on the worksheet to verify its complete. Post a picture of the completed worksheet for a chance to win some cool prizes!
Have fun while building CONNECTION!
