Child-led 🪁 play offers numerous advantages, and a significant one is the development of problem-solving skills. In today's world, filled with noise and distractions, it's valuable to remember some fundamental ways to strengthen our connections, especially during playtime. Simple gestures can make a significant difference. Consider incorporating these elements into your interactions:
* **Eye Contact:** Make an effort to connect visually. * **Pause and Acknowledge:** At the end of your time together, take a moment to pause and sincerely say, "I enjoyed playing with you today." * **Highlight Positives:** Mention two specific things the other person did well or that you found particularly fun during your playtime. This reinforces positive behavior and creates a sense of appreciation. * **Affirm and Express Affection:** Conclude your time with affirming and loving words such as, "I am looking forward to playing with you again," or "I love you," accompanied by a hug or a kiss, to leave a lasting positive impression. These small, intentional actions can greatly enhance the quality of your time together and nurture stronger relationships. |
