2. Setting aside time to focus on one to one play and activities.
Children learn through play, therefore cultivating interests and hobbies is an important part of their development. Playing for 15 minutes every day with each of your children can have a very positive impact.
3. Practice self care for yourself to set the standard, establish a family self care routine.
Spend time together doing things that different members of the family love.
