As a Parent, most of us are worried about our kids just because they are engaged more in the Gadgets after their online classes.
Not only the kids, but children of all age groups are also very attracted to the Gadgets and want to spend lots of time with it. They do enjoy them.
But how to control them. Is this a healthy habit? No, not at all. So how do we really motivate kids and divert them in different activities.?
Let me share with you 3 Ideas to motivate your kids by diverting and engaging them in different activities.
-
1 Spend Time With Your Kids
Children who spend time with their parents participating in activities together build a positive sense of self-worth. When children feel that they are valued by their parents, they feel more positive about themselves.
How can you spend your time with your children?
- Play Games With Them: Research shows that children having playtime with parents is important. It makes them feel special. So find time to spend playing with your kids on a regular basis.
- Tell Stories: Storytelling is fun. It can encourage the development of emotions and feelings in a child. You can even share your life stories of your own or from the books.
