How to Make Your Child Happy, Healthy and Creative
By admin | February 3, 2008
Fifty years ago it wasn’t that hard to spend time with your family and children. We weren’t living in a hectic, fast and crazy world where work and errands took most of your time. But, still, there are some things you can do that will make your little ones feel loved, cherished and cared. Also, you will encourage your child’s imagination and creativity.
Camp Inside the house
Children absolutely love camping outside, but don’t wait for spring to make them happy. Make them a tent in your living room, move away chairs from the table, and put a big blanket over it, so it reaches the floor.
That will create a big camping tent, and your children will absolutely love it. You can also make small bites for snacks, and the feeling will be complete!
Don’t buy expensive toys, instead spend more time with your child
Kids don’t need expensive toys. Instead you need to spend more time with them, engaging them into different and fun activities. Fun way to spend time with them is to sit with them on the floor, not on the sofa, while you’re talking with them. That will make you closer to your child and it will be easier to make connection.
Hide and seek is a very fun way to spend time with your child. You can also play different games, involving words and ryhmes.
In the Car
While driving in the car, tell your little one to pay attention to trees, different colors in the nature, shapes of buildings, little animals like squirrels…
Teach them to watch out for the traffic signs. That is lot of fun for them, and also educational.
Little Models
Smaller kids love to pose for your camera. Take adventage of it and make a lot of photographs of your little ones doing different activities – while doing crafts, eating, laughing, dancing…
World Outside
Spend as much as time as you can outside. Encourage your child to notice world outside – the shapes of leaves, flowers and its colors, shapes of trees… Sounds are also important, too.
Imagination and creativity
If you give your child a plain box, you will see how it becomes a boat, a house, a colorful tree…
You can make dolls from old socks, put some buttons on it and color them with different colors. You can imagine different characters, and play with your child. You will see how their imagination works. You will be amased.
