Parents can use this drive to increase intimacy with their children. It can be in the car on the way to or from school. It can be at a regularly scheduled playtime at home. It can be during the last few minutes of the day tucking your child into bed. The actual arrangement is not as important as simply making the most of everyday interactions with children.
Children are present focused.
They are not worried about their future or their past. Be aware of your child s comments or the environment you find yourself in and talk about those things, as they occur. Encourage open expression. Eliminate judgment about right and wrong. Talk about your child s thoughts and feelings in as objective a manner as possible.
