Sharing a Hobby with Your Child

Every parent wishes to bond with their child and identify common interests. It is essential to create those fond memories in their childhood, as parents can help them guide in any rifts they will have in their teenage years. And what can be best than sharing a hobby with your child…😊

Spending time with your children, make them feel comfortable, they communicate, and they learn through play. When you and your child share the same hobby and play together, you establish a certain level of trust. While doing so, you are showing your child that you can understand and listen to them. They will involuntarily  feel more trusted and inclined in sharing things with you, either through play or outside of it, as they will get the feeling that you are “with them”.
