How do you bond with your kid?

When our now 22 year old daughter was still a kid, we bond with her on weekends by going to the mall, and letting her have those rides in the children's section. Or we would go to a place where there is a swimming pool and let her swim for a fee. Even if we don't swim, we would just watch her enjoy her swimming. We make sure that it's a kiddie pool though.

Usually watching a movie, playing PC games and just simply talking about studies, friends, and girls (I've got seven sons). I teach the younger ones of computer games, youtube or other softwares. The older ones, we talk about basketball, other sports and sometimes the art of courtship.

I usually bring my child to the mall and let him play then treat him with his favorite food. This usually takes us about three hours. Then when we come home, we just watch the tv and grab some chips or ice cream.

Hi donsky! I spend the day by plainly having conversation with my kids. Sometimes we watch movies together. I see to it that I have time for my family during these days.

I bond wit my son almost every day. We bond over a simple snack, over dinner, during his bath time and of course, during sleep time. I see to it that I spend most of time with him if Im at home, after office.

I am working mom here in the City my daughter stayed with the care of my parents. It's hard to bond with daughter unless I'm going to file a vacation leave. Last August I just filed a 5-days vacation leave, I spent my leave to my 2 1/2 years old daughter by going shopping and eating somewhere with her. We went to church (we are Catholic) and I played with her at arcade to socialize with other kids. At home I spent every minute with her cause every minute with is precious and I really missed her a lot but I need to sacrifice for her future.

Today I told my kids that I am going to the market to buy some vegetables and other foods to stock cause our fridge is almost empty. So, I ask my youngest son to accompany me. Then my daughter say she wants to come. I was then surprised when my middle child also said..."I'm coming too" Wow, this is the first time we go to the market as bunch Usually, my kids only wants to go with me when it's grocery time. But this time, they come with me. We have a good time buying vegetables that they want and also they buy some cheap stuffs from the market. My son buy a small box that he says he want to keep some small things. My daughter buy few hairclips and my youngest son bought a slipper.

i have no kid till now, but i want to spend my weekends with my girlfriend together. i am in school, what a pity! and we are in different places. oh, i just want to say "i miss you dear" to her!make a phonecall right now!

I bond with my eight year old daughter on the weekends. I bring her to the mall and buy her ice cream. A simple ice cream and a ride on her favorite bump car makes her day. With my eighteen months old, we bond pretty often at home just cuddling and playing games on my tablet, I teach him the alphabet. That's pretty much how we bond.

What a blessing to be able to spend the day with your young son. That is so sweet. When my son was 2 years old, we, too, spent a lot of time watching cartoons. When my son was 2, I rarely turned the TV away from cartoons, unless he was asleep. He adored cartoons...now he is a teen-ager and draws cartoons like a professional illustrator. People tell me all the time, "Your son could be drawing professionally." To which I respond, "I know." I think just being in the same room with your child can be a bonding experience. Even if the two of you aren't talking because the child is doing their own thing (watching cartoons), and you are doing your thing (reading a good book), bonding can still take place. I bonded with my son by watching TV (I loved to watch cartoons just as much as he did) and talking to him about any and everything under the sun. We talked about everything...just fabulous. He's no longer 2 years old, he's in high-school now, but we are very close...and it all started years ago, when he was just a baby. As a single mother, I spend my day cooking, eating, collaging, still watching cartoons (lol), housekeeping, and chillin' with my son...talking about anything and everything, watching TV, and typing on myLot of course! Have a great day!

Even though I don't have any kids yet, but I think the most good way to bod with your kids is with always have a quality time with them everyday. Even though you may be busy but always spare that quality time for your kids, like by having conservation, playing something together (which is interactive), making something together (like cooking or crafting) or going out somewhere fun with them =D

Well, I was single with my first baby and as you can imagine, I had to work my tail off. I think that with her, I used any time we had together just being silly...we would have dance parties; go to local playgrounds and I would climb the equipment right with her; create all kinds of things with playdough; build indoor forts; spend a day watching her silly cartoons or movies, etc. Now, with my second youngster, I try to indulge her with activities she likes to do and not necessarily ones that cost a dime. I'm lucky that she loves music, reading, baking, crafting, and sports- so it's not too hard to find something to do together. I think anytime spent together, quality time is what they need and look forward to.
