Importance of Spending Alone Time With Your Kids


Finding the space and time in your day to spend one-on-one with your kids is highly crucial. The American Academy Of Pediatrics has proved that doing this helps your child’s development, including promoting their social skills, social, emotional, cognitive language, and self-regulation skills. Sounds like a perfect plan, right? The type of parenting where you spend some one-on-one time with kids forms a part of an authoritative parenting style. That develops a warm, involved and communicative parent-child relationship. 


By doing this, you are an authoritative parent but still hold respect and support for your child’s point of view. The study also says that shared joy and communication experienced by parents and children during play regulates the body’s stress response. 


There are certain disadvantages of not spending quality time with your children that might affect them in the long run, such as toxic stress, overeating, loss of appetite, lack of social involvement, etc. 


Advantages of Utilising Quality Time With Your Children: 


  1. It will strengthen the bond between you and your child. They will be even more communicative with you by sharing their feelings and thoughts on certain things. 
  2. It will let them know that they are valued. Making them feel loved, meaningful, and valued is extremely important. It shows them that you took some time out for them! 
  3. It will reduce their attention-grabbing behavior. It will also give you time to notice their behavior changes and will enable you to discuss and talk with them. 
  4. It shows them that there isn’t a FAVORITE one. If you are a parent of more than one child, you need to make them understand that your love isn’t biased. You love them the same. 
  5. It will help you learn how your child is unique. An excellent opportunity to understand what your child knows and does the best. It can be eye-opening for you!
  6. It models good behavior. Spending some time with them means sharing your good thoughts and learning with your kids. This gives you a chance to pass down your morals and ethics to them. 


What Activities Are Best To Do In One-On-One Time? 


It is better if this dedicated time is free of digital toys and devices. Also, this time need not be task-driven to be valid. It needs to be precisely the opposite. Time to
“Chill” is often better understood by the children than by us. But, being there with them physically is essential for this unstructured one-on-one time to work its magic. 
It is also ideal for creating a list of what your toddler likes to do in his free time. Doing that with them will give them a sense of being understood and won’t make them feel alone.
We have curated a list to do during that one-on-one time:


  1. Play cards 
  2. Reading a book together 
  3. Walking the dog
  4. Playing at the park 
  5. Making Craft 
  6. Playing dress-ups 
  7. Beach day 
  8. Playing a board game 
  9. Movie night at home
  10.  Lunch in the garden 


After all, they are your happy place! So, why don’t you go a little overboard and give them the time they deserve. Giving them your undivided attention will encourage them to do better in every task of their life because they will know that you have got their backs no matter what.
