Sharing physical activities with your kids isn't just a good way to get your heart pumping and burn calories. It's also a great way to build family bonds. When you play tag, toss a Frisbee, or join in a party, you're creating memories your child will treasure someday—memories of times you spent laughing and simply enjoying each other's company.
"Play is a magical time for kids and parents, it’s a time when parents aren't thinking about other duties of the day, and can spend one-on-one time with the child."
Kids love to see Mom and Dad get silly. "We are big fans of chasing each other around the house. Recently, my husband ran after me with our three-year-old on his shoulders, threatening to 'get me' with her stinky feet. And often we rolled around on the room floor pretending to be cats."
These games provide important shared family time. "It's hard to get all of us interested in the same thing at the same time, and it's only going to get harder as the kids grow up,So we take our moments of togetherness where we can get them, even if it's in an unconventional way."
