We will share some tips and tricks with you below, with the help of which you will be able to spend family time with your children on weekends or on any special day or on any fixed day and will also be able to make children self-reliant by teaching them household chores.
Tips to get household work done and spend quality time with children
1. Before starting the day with children, get yourself ready first so that you can give full time to the child.
2. First of all, lovingly wake the child from sleep and tell him what special is going to happen today. We are confident that today, unlike other days, he will wake up once called.
3. After that, before starting the daily routine, click a photo so that this moment gets captured in the camera and in the heart for both of you.
4. Start V-time by exercising, cycling or doing yoga. If the child is a little older then he will support you in walking and cycling and if the child is younger then he will try to imitate you by doing yoga or freehand exercises.
5. After that, come back and first clean your hands. If you clean first then the child will also wash his hands after seeing you.
6. Ask kids to change clothes and then ask for help in the kitchen. Children do their work with great pleasure when given responsibility. Involve them in making breakfast.
7. After that, go to the kitchen together and try to make fruit juice. If you make fruit juice with children, they will start drinking it themselves even before you ask them to drink it. Because children like to eat or drink things made with their own hands.
8. After breakfast, give them a chance to help in gardening. This will bring them closer to nature. This also strengthens the bonding with your child and at the same time, gardening also helps him in becoming a responsible person. From providing water to providing sunlight and shade, protecting it from animals and birds, taking care of it – it is a great lesson of responsibility for children.
9. Now comes the time to prepare lunch. You may be thinking that involving your child in preparing lunch will increase your work. But once you try it, you will never forget this moment. The sweetness of the strangely shaped rotis made by a child will bring sweetness to your life. In this way children will also learn household work.
10. After lunch comes time for outdoor or indoor games or going out for a walk or watching a movie of their choice with children at home. You can plan this after consulting them.
Why? How is your weekend quality time with children? See, by spending such time, both of you will be able to understand each other and the relationship between you will become even stronger and more loving.
