5 Ways to Make Sure You Have Fun with Your Children1. Plan your fun time. No matter how busy or tired you are, your kids deserve this time with you. This will also create anticipation for your child as they look forward to your time together. Planning your time will also keep your child from nagging you every 15 minutes. 2. Plan your “me” time.

You will be able to relax, feel that you are a person (not just a parent) and let go of that always ready for some trouble to happen mindset. 3. Try new things together. You might be bored to death from playing with Legos or spending afternoons on a playground. Try something unexpected together like playing your favorite song on pots and pans, scrapbooking, or other crafts. You can even make up a new game and play as a family. 4. Exercise together. As adults we often try to find a reason to get out of any exercise. But getting moving with your kids will be a natural way to have fun with your kids. Exercise will be more fun and not a chore. 5.
