Although we are unable to go out due this Covid-19 pandemic, it is a great opportunity to spend time with your family and bond with them. There are some fathers who are taking advantage of this lockdown and bonding with their kids.
Fathers, if you are wondering where to start, here are some pointers for you:
- Play a quick game with your kid when you take a break. Hide & seek, catch & throw, spelling bee, find the words etc. Anything that your kid enjoys.
- Eat at least one meal with the child during the day. It could be as small as a 10 min snack time. Because, Family that eats together, stays together.
- Put your children/infant to sleep or help in the process like reading to them or singing their favourite lullaby/song/poem, etc.
- Initiate a new activity with your kid as per his/her age which is not a part of their daily routine. It could be a fun learning activity.
- Participate in day to day routine of the child so that they feel more connected with you.
Make a To-Do list along with your kid or wife or both and feel the joy as you tick the items on that list.
This is the period where you can try and make up for all the lost time you wished you had spent with your kid.
