Today, we discuss essential factors in maintaining meaningful relationships with your child, be it a son or a daughter. Our approach primarily revolves around 'getting on your child's level'.

We also explore becoming sportscasters or playing and engaging in shared activities, emphasizing the role that one-on-one quality time plays in strengthening bonds. This could be anything from a trip to the cinema or a visit to a theme park like Mandoria or Energialandia. The podcast further stresses the importance of eating dinner together, highlighting the value of eye contact and conversations over meals. Spending time in the garden and even cooking together was also recommended. Bedtime bonding, such as reading together or solving math problems, is another great way we discuss to connect with your children. Sharing travel experiences, like a vacation in Estonia, was also discussed as a way to build tighter family bonds. Thus, the episode is a comprehensive guide to practical and effective ways to foster a healthier and closer relationship with your child.
