One-on-One Time

Set aside time to spend with each child

It can be for just 20 minutes, or longer – it’s up to us. It can be at the same time each day so children or teenagers can look forward to it.

Ask your child what they would like to do

Choosing builds their self-confidence. If they want to do something that isn’t OK with physical distancing, then this is a chance to talk with them about this.

Ideas with your baby / toddler

Copy their facial expression and sounds
Sing songs, make music with pots and spoons
Stack cups or blocks
Tell a story, read a book, or share pictures

Ideas with your young child

Read a book or look at pictures
Dance to music or sing songs
Make drawings with crayons or pencils.
Do a chore together - make cleaning and cooking a game.

With your teenager

Talk about something they like: sports, music, celebrities, friends
If it's safe, go for a walk - outdoors or around the home
Exercise together to their favorite music
