Kids are one of the most lovely creatures to be with, although most times you can't stand them when they cry, destroy things around the house, get into trouble and all of that. I'm yet to be a father but I sure do have experience being with or taking care of kids. Children tend to crave attention from their parents or guardians especially now in this summer break. Trust me, there are tons of activities you could do with your kids that will be a lot of fun and will help strengthen the bond between you both.
Quiz
There is something I love doing when it comes to taking care of kids. I had the opportunity to babysit some kids, a four-year-old and a 7 years old. I organized a quiz for them and of course I set a very captivating and promising price to keep them very much interested in participating in the quiz. It looked like school work but I had to spice it up with a fun activity while I conducted the quiz. On the table were two different plates filled with lots of candies, biscuits and juice. Whenever I asked a question,whoever answered correctly would pick up any of those items of his choice on the table. It was lucrative, funny and interesting.
Games
Another activity I find interesting too is playing games with your kids. You could set up a schedule for games and prolly tag it as a family game night. Introduce games that would both be lucrative to them and also fun too. Having fun is the real deal. We have games like Monopoly, scrabbles, chess etc. We also have fun games like water gun fights, hide-and-seek or PES games.
Additionally, I believe that cooking as a family will deepen the connection between you and your children. Making meals together for supper, breakfast, lunch, or dining out are all possible. If it's possible as well as affordable, let the kids choose any meal they want, and then the whole family can prepare it together.Then after that, y'all can see a movie together too
In conclusion
Nevertheless, being a parent comes with tons of responsibilities and duties, such as providing for your children's basic needs, caring for them, being there for them in exciting and sad times, etc. All of these can be overwhelming I must say. Growing up, I would often hear my dad complain of not having enough money to do certain things for us and I know it got him all worked out. I'm aware that striking the balance between providing for your family's necessities and being there for them at every turn is challenging, but it is attainable.
Well, I hope this was helpful.
Until next time, do have a wonderful day.
