Here are 21 things you can do right now to improve your relationship with your child. Snuggle with each child for five minutes as soon as they wake up. Spend an additional minute at breakfast with your children, asking what they are looking forward to today and appreciating it. At bedtime, say good night by kissing the top of their heads and telling them how much you love them. Spend some time every day doing something fun with your child. This could be going for a walk, playing a game, or watching a movie. Take your child to the park. Not only is this good for your health, but also for your child's. Do activities together that don't require money. Play board games, play catch, go for walks, have barbecues - anything without cost involved except your time. Go to museums or theaters, eat out, visit local attractions. Talk with your child about what they want in life. Ask them questions such as what they think you should be doing with your life, what kind of person would be best for them personally, and what they want to be when they grow up. Help your child learn about responsibility. Let them help you around the house, let them give you advice, and allow them to make decisions as they get older.
