By the Edistää team · Parenting tips
Small, everyday habits make a big difference in the early years. Here are seven simple tips from the Edistää team to help you build a strong, happy bond with your child.
1
Build a routine
Children must ideally go to bed before 10 pm and sleep for an average of 10–12 hours. Try and spend time with your child either in the morning or just before bedtime.
2
Spend quality time every day
Each parent must spend 20–30 minutes a day of high-quality time with their child. This will ensure a great bond between parent and child.
3
Be the role model
Children model what they see. Hence behave in a manner you would want your child to behave.
4
Read to your child
It is extremely important in this gadget era to read physical books to your child. Books instil values, create awareness and are the best way to introduce language to children.
5
Keep screens away
When you are with your child, keep your phone and laptop away. You must also refrain from watching television while with your child.
6
Share a meal
Try and have one meal with your child. Mealtime is the best time to interact with your child.
7
Play together
Play with your child. It is important to play games, paint or indulge in pretend play with your child.
