Spend Time Not Money With The Kids this Wintertime
Wednesday, August 5th, 2009
Spending quality time with your children doesn’t need to cost a lot of money. Whats most important, is that you take the chance to bond with them. The time that you spend with your children will make them feel special and they’ll treasure it for a lifetime. Letting your children know that you’re there for them, will create a lasting bond between you and your children.
The winter months can be rather dull for children since they’re cooped up in the house more than they would like to be. This is a great time for you to let your children know you feel their discomfort by giving them some one on one attention from mom. It doesn’t require a good deal of money to make those boring winter days stuck indoors special.
One simple and inexpensive suggestion would be to make a plan with your child to watch his or her favorite television show, TV program or video together. Overmuch television isn’t always a good thing, however, to clear up a winter day trapped indoors, it’s a perfect activity. Shortly before you watch the program or movie you’ve selected with your children, ask them to help prepare some of their favorite snacks for the event. All children love to help mama mess up the kitchen a little and specially whenever it means eating their favorite snack foods. A couple quick and easy snack suggestions would be preparing smores, which happens to be my children’s favorite snack food. Not only do they like to eat them, but they love making them. (more…)
