Bonding with your kids

Since im a stay home mom, and i only have two kids, i spend almost all day with them. We watch tv together, we play games outside, eat together, go to the malls, pretty much everything together...lol

Both of us are working, I mean me and my husband and we have very little time to spend with our baby , but when ever we get a time we try to spend with my baby , I dont feel like loosing one minute also when I am with my baby , I normally sing songs, play with her, show her how she has to take care of her things and tell her some stories , even her father does the same thing and he even shares jokes and stories with her ....But I miss her so much when I am at my work ..she is just 6 months old and we will leave her in creche ..when ever our daughter is with us she will enjoy with us ..I think you should also try to spend more hours with your baby, I mean how much ever you can..Thank you

Finding time can be tough .But very important.I play with my kid inddors and out doors.I would sing to jom and read sometimes.I would read bible to him.Repeat nursery rhymes often.I do all these some 2 hours a day.

With my granddaughter(5 yr old) I have her help me do things around the house and then praise her for what she could do. She has helped me with cooking and with my photo business. I am teaching her and she is learning and bonding with me.

I get busy with work almost 24/7 as I do freelance work after my full time day job. It has become a regular thing for me to bring my 5 year old daughter during weekends to a mall, eat her favorite pizza, play at Timezone, go to the toy store, or catch a movie if there's a good one showing. But on days that I have extra time to spare, we play together, I give her ideas on what to write in her diary, draw, paint, play computer games, just take a nap together or tickle each other until we both get tired. It's really rewarding to see the smile on her face after we have our bonding sessions. It's something priceless and memorable. :)

My daughter loves puzzles and books, so she usually asks for help (not that she really needs help) to build her puzzles and I read her some of her books. Sometimes I will sit and watch some age-appropriate cartoons with her. Also when it's bathtime and I'm not in a hurry I'll fill up the bath and let her play a little longer in the water. Letting children play on their own with our presence helps with bonding too.

For me, it starts when they get home from school. I'll sit and help them with their homework and then I'll usually go outside and play with them for a little bit before dinner. My son is really into soccer at the moment and we are always kicking the ball around. We do a lot of fun stuff with them on the weekends too. I feel worse for my wife as she works really hard and doesn't get as much quality time with them as I do as a stay at home dad.

I'm a stay at home mom and my son is a toddler, so we have lots of opportunities to bond. We play together, I read to him and he attempts to read back lol, and we do outside activities together. We're always out in town doing something, from going to a museum or a park to walking the mall.

If you only have a few hours a day try watching a movie or talking while you are doing something like cooking. Why don't you let them help you cook and things like that then they will be spending time with you and you can talk with them at the same time.

I try to do lots of things with my son especially on the weekends. We read books, go to the park, go to the mall, go swimming, dance, play outside, make cookies, paint, draw,etc. There are lots of things to do with your children when you are with them so don't waste any minute of it because they grow very fast.

It's tough to find enough quality time to spend with my kids. I have a boy and a girl who each need my time and attention. My daughter and I are in Girl Scouts together and do many things with the troop. We cook dinner together at least once a week. We also have a regular girl's day every couple of months for just the two of us. We'll usually go have a nice lunch somewhere and catch up. She just turned 13, so the times we have together will begin to be farther apart. My son, who is 18, is rarely ever home anymore, but he actually goes grocery shopping and runs errands with me. He helps cook dinner about once a week, too. We spend time talking...about everything. We have always been very close and he calls me a few times a week just to say hi. My kids really appreciate the small things. I think it is more important what you do with the time you spend with them rather than how much time you spend with them. We talk...both of my kids are not afraid to talk to me about anything - and I do mean anything! Listening to your kids is just as important as talking to them. It's helps you get to know them as people.
