Fun Ways To Spend Quality Time With Your Children

Fun ways to spend quality time with your children: with their fifth child on the way, Aaron and Jennifer Smith share how they make one-on-one time with each of their kids a regular habit. They talk about dating your kids by pairing outings with commitments you already have, like dinner before a dance class or lunch after piano lessons, and putting phones away to be fully present. They share questions worth asking, such as what is God teaching you and how am I doing as your parent, and the practice of going three questions deep, an idea from Isaac Tolpin. Add a long list of free or cheap date ideas, from Barnes & Noble and bike rides to a trampoline park or running errands together, and a reminder that it's one thing to love your kids and another to like them.
