Strengthen your relationship with your children:
- Whenever possible eat breakfast with your kids before school. Make it very relaxed by starting early and staying happy.
- At dinner, have kids take turns explaining something they learned that day at school.
- Occasionally read a book that one of your children is reading at school, and discuss it with them.
- When possible, be home when your children get home from school. Provide an opportunity for them to tell you about their day.
- Occasionally (maybe on a consistent day each week) bake cookies or fresh bread for when your kids get home from school. Even if you use frozen dough you bought at the store, it still smells wonderful. The yummy aroma will help cement a happy memory.
- Get to know your children's friends. Invite them to enjoy the fresh baked goodies.
