How to spend quality time with your kids!

We chatted about: 

  • What spending quality time with your children means (Becks googled it!)  
  • The fact that it doesn’t need to be endless amounts of time and that quality not quantity is what counts. 
  • How quality time is different for everyone, but that in the main though it is 1:1 interaction and communication, no phones or devices, just being focussed on each other. 
  • How quality time doesn't have to be something specific like a board game, it can be just doing something with your children and chatting with them as you do it. You don’t even have to be creative! 
  • How mirroring your child’s play can help if you aren’t sure how to spend the time with your child.  
  • Love Languages! Is quality time yours? 
  • The guilt that can be felt when you don’t feel you are spending enough quality time with your child and some achievable things you can try. Don’t force it! 
  • Reading books together – why this is so important (and how it helps you to spend quality time with your children as well). 
  • Keeping it simple and taking the pressure off – if you think about it,  you are probably doing it anyway!

Newborn to Teen and Everything Inbetween - it does exactly what it says on the tin! Join childcare experts Becks and Claire for practical advice about how to communicate with children, at all ages.
There can be a lot of pressure to 'get it right' when it comes to children, which can be quite daunting! Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, TA or childcare worker, or just looking to gain a better understanding of the world through a child’s eyes, Becks and Claire have 25 years of childcare experience to share with you. Listen for reassurance and support to help you navigate tricky conversations, challenging behaviour, complex emotions, and the general day to day pressures of raising and working with children.
This is a judgement-free zone - you won't find a one-size-fits-all rule book here!

Join Becks and Claire for accessible, light-hearted and well researched advice and guidance on the various ways we can tackle the ups and downs of life with children (they've got a great sense of humour too, so if you love a laugh you're in great company!)
