Kids, especially smaller ones, love their parents (it might be a different scenario if your kid is a teenager!). Parents are also very protective of their kids and try to spend as much quality time with them as possible. But with the hectic schedules, nanny timings, work, household stuff, family duties etc., it saps you off all the energy and all you want to do at the end of the date is sleep! - Well, there goes an opportunity to spend time with your beloved angel!

But if your week is hectic, how does weekend sound to you? You can make it fun by calling it a date day with your sweet little angel! Well, the question is - what do you and how creative/unique you can get to ensure your child values what ever you are doing and has fun with you. This is the time to bond really well and develop this relationship further.

Do you have a daughter and want to spend fun time with her? How about (if she is a little older) teaching her fun stuff in the kitchen. Get her to bake a batch of cookies or put some icing on a cake that you guys made together. This will teach her the qualities of patience and will also teach her that patience yields results (beautiful batch of cookies!). This will also give you some time to teach her life lessons and generally be playful with her

Well, if you are a mother and you have a cute boy, how about taking out all his toys in your backyard and making a fun date with lots of water, soap and cleaning stuff! This will ensure that he learns to clean his own stuff (a great life lesson) and will give you guys time to talk, laugh and have some fun. After all, which boy does not like splashing around in the water and getting dirty?

If you have an older girl, how about treating her to a coffee/tea date. Older girls love wearing nice clothes and going to nice places (well, every girl likes that!). So allow her to dress up a bit and have a great chat over a nice hearty high tea
It might be time to get dirty and messy - come to your backyard or garden and get all the paints, colors and papers. Have fun creating fun stuff on paper and getting messy. Kids love that

Sometimes, a nice walk on a great jogging trail or amidst nature helps bond two people in a very unique way. You do not just get fresh air and some exercise, nature teaches the kids great life lessons

Well, the favorite with all kids - shop for toys and clothes for them. It is fine to indulge them once in a while
