Parenting Moment: Enjoying!
Showing you enjoy your time together with your child builds your special bond. And when you’re being positive, your little one is more likely to do the same.
Watch this video on your own or with your child, and notice how Rudy’s dad, Freddy, shows his son how much he values the time they spend together.
Think about the times with your child that you treasure most and consider all the ways you let them know how much it means to you! For instance, you might smile, make eye contact, hug and kiss them, put your arm around them, or rub their back. You might tell them how much you enjoy being with them or just talk in a warm, animated voice and laugh together.
