Special Time is Different to Quality Time

Special Time is 10 minutes a day doing what your child loves to do. Quality time is once a week, at least half an hour to half a day, doing what you both love to do.

What are some things your child likes to do?

Ask yourself what your child likes to do. For young children, give then a choice of 2 or 3 to help them make the decision. Here are some ideas if your child gets stuck.
