Talk to your child about your childhood memories

Barriers between child and parent can only be overcome through communication. Tell them what your childhood was like, what you lacked, what excited you, what your favorite games were, and what interactive activities you had with your parents. Try to correct the mistakes you feel your parents made towards you and adopt the habits you liked.

For example, perhaps they didn't spend enough time with you because they were too busy with work, and then they were too tired to get involved in your games. Now you have the opportunity to do things differently. Focus on activities that make all family members happy at least on the weekend, if you don't have free time and energy during the week. Your little one will appreciate every moment spent with you because you are his whole universe.

Encourage outdoor play

In recent years, outdoor games have been gradually replaced by computer, tablet, or mobile phone games and entertainment activities. Studies have revealed that a child between the ages of 5 and 16 can spend, on average, as much as 6 and a half hours a day in front of a screen. Be a promoter of outdoor play and encourage your child to be more active. How can you succeed more easily? Instead of constantly scolding them, it's better to get actively involved and offer suggestions from an early age, as this will make it easier for you to shape a healthier lifestyle for them.

In children's playgrounds, little ones learn to socialize, improve their flexibility, coordination, and balance. They also learn to make decisions independently and even to negotiate. Moreover, outdoor games keep unpleasant effects of a sedentary lifestyle, such as obesity and depression, at bay.
