Dogs Care

Dogs and humans have been best friends for long. While dogs give unconditional love, loyalty and friendship to their owners, the owners are, in turn, responsible for their proper care, food and water, shelter, safety, regular veterinary care and exercise. In fact, if you do not undertake proper care of your dog, it is not only likely to suffer from physical problems, but behavioral problems as well. In this context, there are some dog-care basics that you need to follow. In order to help you out in the task, we have listed a number of dog caring tips, in the lines below.



How To Care For Dogs
  • Collar your dog and attach an ID to it, with the dog's name, your name, address, and telephone number written on it. The ID will prove to be a great help if, and when, your dog ends up getting lost. Through the information provided on the ID, someone will able to bring your pet safely back to your home.
  • Bathing your dog at regular intervals is necessary. However, giving it a bath on an exceedingly frequent basis can dry out its skin and coat and result in skin infections. The best bet would be to bathe your dog once in a month. In case it gets too dirty in-between, rub it with a damp towel or wash just the paws.
  • While bathing the dog frequently is not advisable, you should definitely groom it on a daily basis. Move a brush or comb through the hair of your dog, ensuring that its coat remains smooth and free of tangles. Grooming of a dog can be started when it is 3-4 months old and continues throughout its life.
  • It is necessary to undertake a proper physical examination of your dog on a monthly basis. Check the pad of its feet for any injuries and also undertake an oral examination of its mouth. At the same time, make sure to keep its ears as well as teeth clean. You need to take your dog for regular veterinarian check-ups as well, say every 2-3 months.
  • One of the main points that you need to keep in mind, while taking care of your dog, comprises of its diet. Remember, a nutritionally balanced diet, with constant access to fresh water, is as good for your dog as it is for you. Before deciding on the proper diet for your dog, it is advisable to consult a veterinary doctor.
  • If you want your dog to remain fit and healthy, then you need to make sure that it gets a lot of exercise. Keeping its busy physically will also help keep behavioral problems at bay. You can take him for walk twice a day or play with him. In this context, remember that the level of exercise that your dog should get depends upon its breed and age.
  • While some people prefer to keep their dog free throughout the day, others prefer to keep it tied for majority of the time. It is advisable not to keep your dog constantly tied up, as this will lead to boredom and result in bad temper of the dog as well. As much as possible, keep your dog free of the leash.
  • If you do not want to breed your dog, get it neutered, after consulting a veterinary doctor. It will help the dog live longer, be healthier and have fewer behavior problems. You should also get your dogs vaccinated against rabies and other diseases. It is necessary to ensure the health of your dog as well as those who come in contact with it. 
  • You need to provide proper shelter for your dog, mainly in the form of a dog house (and fence yard, in case of large and active dogs). However, most of the dogs crave companionship and do not like to be alone for long periods. So, try to spend as much time with your dog as possible and make it go into the dog house at night only.
In exchange for all the love and pleasure dogs give their families, they do require various kinds of care in return, many of them several times a day. But don't be scared -- these will quickly become part of your familiar routine, and the better you get at caring for your pooch, the more pleasure you'll both derive from your relationship. In this article, we cover all the key aspects of dog-care, including:
  • Dog-Naming Tips Naming your pooch is a joyful task, but one you'll want to put some thought into ahead of time. Both you and your dog will have to live with the name you choose for your entire time together. There are many ways to come up with appropriate dog names, including appearance, heritage, special characteristics, and behavior. We cover them all in this section. We will also tell you about some dog names and dog-naming mistakes you will definitely want to avoid.
  • Dog Supplies Think of how many personal items you have, and how many of them are indispensable to your health and happiness. Dogs require fewer accessories than us humans, but theirs are no less vital, and by selecting the proper items, you can improve your pooch's health in ever regard. If you've ever ventured inside a pet store, you know how confusing it can be just picking out a collar or leash. We will cover all the basics like food and grooming accessories, as well as specialty items like a carrier.
  • Dog Feeding Nothing is more vital to the health of your dog than proper feeding. Dogs are eager eaters, and this is part of their charm. But it also means that you need to be well informed about what is will give a dog good health and energy and what could be bad for her, despite her willingness to try it out. Here are all the details, including several make-it-at-home recipes for delicious, nutritious and economical dog food. (We also answer the eternal question, "Why do dogs eat plants?")
  • Puppy-Training Tips A new puppy can really melt your heart, but they can also be a handful. The sooner your pooch is accustomed to doing his business outdoors and on schedule, the better for all of you. Interestingly, this is made easier when correlated to the feeding schedule. There is more to training your puppy than housebreaking, however. You must also know the correct way to humanely discipline your new dog when he misbehaves. All the details of this crucial stage in your dog's life are in this section.
  • Dog-Grooming and Bathing Tips Dogs can get messy, and they don't naturally keep themselves quite as clean as we'd like them to be as co-habitants in our homes. As the owner, proper grooming on bathing is your responsibility. But there is more to caring for your dog than simple bathing. You must also care for your dog's nails, teeth, eyes and ears. So in this section we cover key strategies for keeping your pooch clean and everyone happy. We'll even tell you when it's time to throw in the towel and seek the aid of a professional groomer.
  • Dog-Proofing Your Home Dog-proofing your home can be just as challenging as proofing your home for a child or for allergies. For instance, do you know which types of houseplants can be poisonous for dogs? You might also be surprised to learn that some of your favorite treats can really upset your dog's stomach. For everyone's health and happiness, it's vital to make your house safe for your dog and to train the pooch to respect the home, as well. In this section, we give indispensable advice for forging a good relationship between your pet and your residence.
  • Dog-Proofing Your Yard Most dogs spend at least a little time in the yard, but this congenial place poses its own challenges and dangers. First, you will need the right type of fence to keep your dog from roaming the neighborhood where he could possibly get injured or hurt others. We will examine the option of invisible fences and the so-called "shock collars." Also, everyone needs a place to call home, and that includes your dog. We'll tell you how to design and build the perfect doghouse. Learn how to keep both your dog and your yard safe and happy.
  • Dog-Identification Tips Nothing else matters when your dog is lost. Taking a few simple steps when she first comes home can save everyone heartache later. The right tag can get your dog back home where he belongs in a matter of hours. Here we discuss the best methods of providing identification for your dog. We will also discuss some identification options that you may not have heard of. Did you know that some pet owners tattoo their dogs with vital identification information? How about microchip implants? Regardless of the method you choose, we will also tell you how to register your dog's identification.
Before you can really get to know your dog, you have to give him or her a name. Move on to the first section for some tips on christening your new friend.

One of the responsibilities of being a parent is making sure a child knows his address and telephone number. Parents patiently remind their children if they ever get lost, they need only find a police officer and tell the officer where they live. A good, permanent, and easily recognized ID -- complete with your current address and phone number -- is the best way to make sure the four-legged members of your family always find their way home safely, too.
There are three types of identification for dogs who fit this bill: tags, tattoos, and microchips. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, but no one method offers complete protection. Used together, however, they provide the best chance of a happy reunion with a lost dog.
ID tags. Most everybody knows to get a collar and tag for a dog. The classic dog ID tag is a simple and inexpensive way for your dog to carry your name and phone number. However, the collar-and-tags form of identification does have its drawbacks. The collar can come off or be removed deliberately by an unscrupulous person who finds the dog and wants to pass it off as an unidentified stray. Tags must also be updated when addresses or phone numbers change -- something that often gets relegated to the "one of these days" list during the hustle and bustle of a move. (And, unfortunately, a move is a prime time for pets to get out and get lost.) Tags with outdated information may be of just as little help as no tags at all. To top it all off, tags jingling on a collar can be annoyingly noisy, especially in the middle of the night.
Nevertheless, a collar and tag are the first line of defense against loss. Use a buckle-type flat or round collar with a sturdy D-ring for attaching tags. Never use a choke collar for anything except supervised training sessions. It's just too easy for it to snag on fences, shrubs, or other items and strangle an unsupervised dog.
Try to choose a distinctive collar and tag so it becomes part of your dog's unique description. For example, there are plenty of black Labrador retrievers in the world, but yours would stand out if he had a bone-shaped lime-green ID tag on a neon pink collar. The tag should be engraved and include your name and your day and evening phone numbers. These days, some experts advise against including the dog's name, since putting the dog's name where anyone can see it may make it easier to steal her. Leaving the dog's name off the tag can also help if someone finds your dog and tries to claim ownership. Certainly if you know the dog by name and the person claiming to be the owner doesn't, it makes it clear who's telling the truth.
There are options for an ID tag other than the classic metal tag, which may rust unless it's made of stainless steel. Plastic tags are sturdy and don't jingle as loudly as metal, but they can also fade and become brittle with age. Engraved metal ID plates can be attached directly to flat collars, and some nylon collars can have your phone number woven or imprinted on them directly. A small metal or plastic identification barrel attached to a collar is a distinctive variation on the ID tag. These eye-catching devices unscrew to reveal a slip of paper on which you can record not only your name and phone number but important medical information about your dog, too.
If you are moving or traveling with your dog, buy a temporary write-on tag with your new phone number or the phone number of a friend. Temporary tags are widely available through veterinarians, animal shelters, pet supply stores, and grooming shops. Ideally, however, you should provide your dog with an engraved ID tag listing not only your new address and phone number but also a contact name and number for your previous neighborhood. If your dog gets lost along the way, rescuers might not be able to reach you immediately at your new address. Some humane societies have a permanent ID tag registry system. The stainless-steel tag is engraved with the name of the humane society, the society's phone number, and a registration number. As long as you notify the humane society when your address or phone number changes, the tag will always be current, no matter where you go.
Tattoos. A tattoo is also a visible form of identification, but unlike a tag, it is permanent. Employees at research laboratories and animal shelters know to look for tattoos, and federal law does not permit laboratories to use tattooed dogs. A sticker or sign on your car, fence, or your dog's kennel noting your pet is tattooed can help ward off professional dog thieves.
Most dog tattoos are placed on a dog's belly or inner thigh. Tattoos remain the most legible when given after a dog reaches adult height. Avoid tattooing the inside of a dog's ear (as is done with racing Greyhounds); thieves have been known to cut off tattooed ears to prevent identification.
Tattooing can be done at a veterinary office, with the dog under anesthesia, or by a qualified individual at a dog club or other organization. The procedure is not painful, but it is noisy and time-consuming, so if your dog is squirmy or aggressive, he might require anesthesia.
Although a tattoo is a permanent identifying mark, it must be registered to be of any use. Otherwise, the finder has no way of contacting you. The registry can assign you a code to be tattooed on the dog, or you can use a number that will remain the same for your lifetime, such as a social security number (if you don't mind your personal information walking around in public). Phone numbers and birth dates are poor choices because they change frequently or can be shared by a large number of people.
The major disadvantage of a tattoo is not everyone knows how to contact a registry, or it may not be immediately clear which registry your dog is signed up with. However, tags and tattoos can be used in combination, with the dog wearing a tag bearing a registry phone number. As with the humane society permanent tag, it's crucial to let tattoo registries know if your address or phone number changes.
Microchip implants. These sound like something out of a science-fiction movie, but many "chipped" dogs and cats have been reunited with their owners already through this rapidly growing means of reliable, permanent identification. The chip is typically placed under the skin at the scruff of the neck through a procedure much like giving a vaccination. It is virtually painless, and a single implantation lasts a lifetime.
Available only through veterinarians and animal shelters, microchips are tiny, battery-free devices, no bigger than a grain of rice. Each is programmed with a unique, unalterable code number and some sort of information identifying the chip's manufacturer. Microchip registries keep your personal information on file, listed by the chip's code number. Code numbers are also cross-referenced to the animal hospital or humane society that implanted the chip -- an important backup in case you move and forget to forward your new address to the registry. Specially designed scanners read this information from the chip, through the dog's skin. Before implanting a chip, the veterinarian scans it to confirm the code, then scans again after implantation to make sure everything is working properly.
A microchip sends a signal only when it's activated by a scanning device. The scanner decodes the signal and displays the identification code on a liquid-crystal display window. Veterinary and humane organizations recommend microchipping as a safe and effective way of identifying lost pets and ensuring their return. This type of identification has the potential to save the lives of thousands of dogs who would otherwise die in shelters, unrecognized or unclaimed. As with tattoos, national registration is the best way to make sure you and your microchipped dog are reunited -- as long as the registry has your current address and phone number.

Registering Your Dog's Identification

Listing your tattooed or microchipped dog with a national registry gives you access to the registry's database and services, which often include 24-hour notification, a tag with the registry's phone number, and an indication that the dog wearing it is tattooed or chipped. Often, registries also work through a network of animal shelters across the country. However, many shelters and laboratories now routinely scan strays they receive for microchips, and even if you haven't listed your dog with a registry, the lab or shelter can still find the owner of a chipped dog by tracing the code number to the veterinarian who implanted the chip.
Protect your from permanent loss by ensuring he is well identified. Should he ever escape from your watchful eye, you'll be glad you did.
A dog can be a great source of love and companionship in your home. In addition to all your dog gives you, he also needs a little care in return. Take care of your dog and he will take care of you.

It is very important for a child to develop reading habits in his pre-school age. Parents can prepare their child to be a successful reader before they began any type of formal education.

Here are some actions that parents can do to help their children become a successful reader:

Story telling is excellent way to develop reading habits. But only reading story is not enough. Discuss the story after reading. Let your child point out letters, shapes, colors, and animals. It generates the interest of child.
Choose silent atmosphere for reading to your child. It may be bedtime or after dinner.
Children always imitate their parents. If reading is not important for you child will always consider it as a boring thing.
Selection of place in your home is also important. It should be a special place, like a pile of pillows on the floor or a comfortable chair.
Ask the child to select a book which he wants to listen.
Make your home a print rich environment. Children love to read it.
Read aloud to your child every day.
Encourage your child to tell you stories of his or her own using the imagination power.
Always keep paper, crayons, and paint in the kitchen and in other rooms where the child may be. Wonderful, spontaneous little pictures come in odd moments.

Parents should keep one thing in mind that Pressuring young children or forcing them to participate will lead to resistance and a dislike for reading. Make the reading as a fun.

Parents are the first and best teacher. Parents are the strongest models and have the greatest impact on the child. A child spends only 4-5 hours in school and rest of the day with parents. They imitate their parents and their behavior reflects parents.

Your child is with you under the widest variety of circumstances -- from before the moment of birth to the present time -- often twenty-four hours a day! You've observed your child go through the most important learning events of his life, from the first step, to the first spoken word, to the first scribble, and so forth.

Provide a combination of caring and discipline to promote confidence and proper ability according to each child's unique personality and developmental stage.
Retain regular and optimistic relationships with teachers to enhance awareness of school.
Help your child to meet the difficulties which he is facing in learning. Provide the support and encouragement to go through present obstacles by thinking of past victories.
Celebrate with your child when he achieves something.


All young children are creative. Creativity means having the quality to express yourself in your own way. Children are naturally creative. They do the things in their own ways what they see.

At pre-school age, children are full of energy and creative thoughts. They show it in different ways. Small children can’t express themselves. They do it through creativity.

It is very important to raise creativity in your child at the pre-school age. Mainly creativity lies in four areas. These are:-

Nurture your child’s creativity by way of art. Art is a way of expressing ideas and feelings in visual form. So give him/her art material (crayons, paint, clay etc) to raise the imagination power.
Story telling is good medium to increase creativity. Children use their imagination and act like those characters what they listen. It enhances their creativity.
Creative play often provides exercise for children, which in turn stimulates physical growth. Acting like “Spiderman” needs lots of running, jumping, and climbing.
Encourage them to play creative games like frog race, kangaroo race etc.
Ask such type of questions which help in developing their imagination. For example “if candies, chocolates can grow on plants”.
Encouragement also helps provide children with a sense of mastery and self-worth. The 2-year-olds who hop and croak feel pride in their abilities to be frogs.
Fantasy also plays a important role in nurturing child’s creativity. Ask your child what he wants to become and say him to act like those persons like a police officer or doctor.

And one thing should always be remembered that is not to criticize or judge your child's creative products. Always encourage you child responding positively to what he do.

Library is very valuable resource for your child. A habit to visit library is excellent. It is very important that child should develop this habit at very young age.

So arrange a library card for your child early.

Here are some my suggestions to make a good use of the library.

Introduce your child with the librarian and the services offered by the library, like using computers, or other media opportunities. Help your child to join any reading programs that might be available through your public library.
Let them help to learn how to check the table of contents.
Go to library and demonstrate how to look up books by favorite authors and those on subjects of special interest.
Make arrangement for a special shelf in your home for those books your child brings from library, so they won't get mixed up with your child's own books.
Use a special book bag for library books.
Let them help to learn the due date of returning the books. For this he can mark the due dates on your calendar or write them in his school diary.
When a child is ready for preschool it is very important his language should be very clear otherwise, he'd be unable to communicate her needs, wants and desires to the outside world. Language is an important part of your preschooler’s life.

Here are some interesting ideas for your pre-schooler's language development, so that she can make best use of her ability to communicate effectively.

Talking is very important. So talk a lot with your child. Child will learn to express himself.
Read with your child, and follow his lead. Take new words or concepts introduced in the book and use them in real life situations with your child.
Have fun with riddles, puns, tongue-twisters and other word games. These emphasize the playful portion of language and teach your child important language skills, such as vocabulary, use of grammar.
Do activities which involve singing or memorizing nursery rhymes or other short poems because most children love speech in rhythm, like rhymes and songs. And these activities provide great speech and language practice.
Let your child use a tape recorder to record her voice and hear it played back. This gives her immediate reaction on how she's coming across.
Take advantage of everyday activities to expose your toddler or preschooler to new words. While shopping, name items and let her hold them before you put them in your grocery cart. Name body parts and clothing during bath and dressing times. And remember, your child needs to hear words repeated many times before she will be able to say them on her own.

And my last suggestion is ask questions about whatever your child is attending to and then is sure to wait patiently while he comes up with an answer.

Every child loves to listen stories in their elder’s nap. Storytelling is a powerful learning tool accessible to all ages and abilities. There is no need of any special training& equipments. Moreover, storytelling gives confidence to young children to discover their exclusive expressiveness and can improve a student's ability to communicate thoughts and feelings in an expressive style.

There are so many advantages of storytelling for your pre-schooler.

Children are gaining verbal skills.
They are improving their imagination power.
Children learn so much about their customs and traditions.

The following storytelling tips apply to the telling of most stories to young children.

Read the story over to yourself thoroughly, or, if you are making it up, go over each of the details in your mind.
During story telling watch the young children. Make adjustments as needed.
Children participation is very important. So encourage them to participate.
Practice telling the story in front of a mirror or use a tape recorder. If it is possible, get feedback from another adult.
Selection of story must be in accordance with mental level of child.
Use voice variations, facial expressions, gestures, and repetitive phrases to draw the young listener into the story.
One thing is very important, engage the kids in the story as well, providing dialogue they can repeat or gestures they can mimic.

Storytelling is ancient but with the age of T.V, computer it is vanishing. We must be understand its importance to convey wisdom and traditions from one generation to another.

Bicycle riding is a enjoyable and popular activity among kids. Bike riding is excitement for young children.

One advantage of bike riding is that it leads to healthier lifestyle as children are becoming obese now. So encourage them to ride their bikes regularly.

Bike riding is very careful activity. Here are some basic steps to learn riding. Precautionary measures, which should be taken.

Always dress up your child properly. Child should be in long pants and long sleeve shirts, because there will be dangers of fall.
Encourage your child to keep peddling; it helps provides balance.
There are two common approaches of teaching children to ride. One is using training wheels and other is running alongside and holding the seat. You can use any one or combination of both.
If you run along, hold the seat firmly, positioning yourself so your child can’t see you. Then, when you let go, the child probably will not notice, and there will be no reason to panic.

Besides this, there are some precautionary measures, which should be followed.

Always wear a bike helmet
Stop and check traffic before riding into a street
Don't ride at night
Obey traffic signs and signals
Ride on the right-hand side of the street
Check your brakes before riding.
Give cars and pedestrians the right-of-way
Wear light or bright-colored clothing so that motorists can see you

Avoid broken pavement, loose gravel and leaves - which can cause you to lose control of your bike.


It is very important child must not be pressurized for excessive riding. . Allow your child to learn at his or her natural pace, and it is more likely that cycling will become a fun family activity for all of you.

Some parents are so lucky as to parent children who follow directions, are compliant, and act amenable. Others of us are not. Our children may present us with short-term challenging behaviors due to stress or changes in their lives. Or, they may present us with on-going challenges due to emotional and behavioral issues

Children do not always do what parents want. There are different styles and approaches to parenting. Research shows that effective parents raise well-adjusted children who are more self-reliant, self-controlled, and positively curious than children raised by parents who are punitive, overly strict (authoritarian), or permissive.
Parents are child's first teachers. Disciplining the child may be difficult, so it is important to u understand the reasons.
Often parents discipline children to protect them from danger.
Discipline can help children learn to get along with others and develop self-control.
Discipline can help children understand limits and learn acceptable behavior
Now the problem is this that how can a parent correct or discipline without making a child belittled, as if he or she is a bad and worthless person? Physical punishment is no solution because it can discourage and embarrass children and develop low self-esteem in them. The important massage is to first remember that you’re trying to teach your child, not get back at him or her for misbehaving. Instead of using punishment to correct behavior, children need to learn what behavior is allowed and not allowed and why. Parents should stress "dos" rather than "don’ts”.
Here are some tips for discipline your child with love.
Start sentences with “I”. “I” sentences state personal feeling. Like “I get upset when we aren’t on time.” Or “I feel bad when you____” or “I get angry when you’re late, and dinner gets cold.”
Recognize the problem behind the child’s irritable behavior.
If you are too angry to speak, don't. If your child is old enough to read, express your feelings in writing. Sometimes just the time required to find pen and paper will help you to cool off.
Try to avoid absolutes like “you always” or “you never”. To a child, they often mean there is no hope for improvement, no chance of ever pleasing you, which is what kids really want to do.
When you do lose it, reconnect with your child as soon as possible. If your child is young give a hug and kiss. For an older child, you may want to offer an explanation of why you were angry along with an apology.
Don’t give the small child too many reasons.
Basically, I think talking to your child as you would talk to an adult solves a lot of problems. It comes down to showing respect for your child and concern for his or her feeling. You love the child; it’s a particular action you don’t like. Be sure that your child understands that very clearly.
Now a day’s physical inactivity has become a serious problem. Most of the kids are television junkies and their eating habits are also really bad. Their may be many reasons behind it.
In fact inactive children when compared with other children, weigh more, have high blood pressure and higher cholesterol. And most important is inactive children are more likely to become inactive adults.
With global increase in the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children there is a urgent need for more effective physical activity programmes. It’s important that you do something about it and sooner the better. Exercise habits must be established early, so that your child becomes active and fit.
Here are some of my suggestions that will keep your child fit and fine.
Swimming: With proper instruction your child should be able to learn basic swimming skills and water safety. It’s good idea to check with your local sports club about their beginner classes. Swimming is a terrific exercise, great to help keep your child physically fit.
Outings: Plan family outings and vacations. Activities such as hiking, climbing hills and jogging are fun for everyone.
Dancing Classes: Join your child dance classes. Encourage them to hit the dance floor on the fast numbers instead of slow ones.
Wrestling: Besides swimming and family outing to keep your kid active and exercise-oriented, another terrific activity is wrestling. It exercises all you child’s muscles and increases strength and flexibility. It also allows you and your child to have fun together. Use a bed or the floor with a rubber mat. Get you child involved with friends of his own age. Little children are imaginative and invent all sorts of games that require running, jumping, racing, tagging, etc.
Cycling: is also a good exercise to keep your child physically active.
Soccer: is an excellent game. It features running, twisting and jumping-ideal for developing physical fitness.
Finally, encourage any activity that keeps him moving. Walking instead of driving to school, taking the stairs instead of an elevator and chores such as sweeping the floor, taking out the garbage and making the bed. Remember, “couch potatoes” start early in life.
If you\'re a parent working full time, there are ways to strengthen the bonds with your child. They won\'t detract from your professional life, and they will enhance your personal life.
Establish ritual moments; let your child know that those moments are special and important to you. Try having breakfast together every morning, for example, or a before bedtime snack. This is also a good time to read together. Routines and patterns do provide security for children.
Make your self accessible by phone when you\'re at work. Talk briefly at least once a day with your child. Use notes and letters to show your interest and affection when you can\'t be there in person.
Include your child in your work life, through pictures taken at the office or maybe a trip there sometime.
Once in a while, do something special for yourself and your child; you might want to take a sick day from work and spend with your child. Some parents call these mental health days.
There are all sorts of ways to express love. What parents, who work outside the home lack in time, they do make up for in imagination and love.
One way to be better parent is to make a good habit of spending a 30 minutes with your children. In these 30 minutes you have to do-
Put the answer phone on, turn the mobile off, do whatever it takes to find 30 minutes of uninterrupted time.
Find your children and go to their bedroom/playroom/garden.
Tell them they can choose a toy, a game, or any activity that they’d like you to do together. If your children are too young to choose, get the toys out and just play, or draw, or talk, or sing….spend 30 solid minutes playing, talking and being together.
