5 Questions to Ask Your Kids Every Day!

Five Questions To Ask Your Kids Every Day




Connecting with your kids doesn't have to be complicated. With just five questions a day you can build a stronger relationship with your kids.



1. What Is The Most Important Thing That Happened Today? This is a great way to get more than a yes or no answer when you ask about your child's life and day.



2. How Are You And Your Friends Getting Along? You'll get to know your child's social circle and may get a heads up on drama that could be brewing and may cause some later problems.



3. What Is Something I Should Know About You? This question is great for growing any relationship - and you're guaranteed to learn something surprising. Just be prepared to have an answer, too!



4. What Should We Celebrate Today? Make it a goal to have fun with your kids and bring joy into your family's life on a regular basis. It can be as simple as popsicles on the back porch, a good grade on a quiz, or your favorite show being on TV. Savor the little things together.



5. Do You Know That I Love You? You can never say this too much. Always tell your kids you love them - and for who they are, not just for what they do.

This is one way that one dad tries to balance work and family. Although I take flying very seriously, I love the fact that this dad brought his son to work and got him involved. This father should be commended rather than condemned.

National Fatherhood Inititive has a e-mail that gives work-family balance solutions. You can sign up at: https://www.fatherhood.org/de011409.asp

I would love to hear how have you balanced work and family? Send me a comment.
