Making sure you can have some individualized time with your children is really important. My son just turned three and we’ve been discussing having mother/son dates as he grows up. He’s just at a great age to start.
I grew up the second to youngest of six kids. It can be easy when children are not alone, have siblings, to have alone time glossed over. But to make sure your child feels loved, heard, and appreciated it’s wonderful to make sure you each (mom and dad) spend individual time with each child.
Here are some great ideas for mother and son dates:
- Concert
- Ice Cream or Coffee
- Activity Place
- Batting Practice
- Golf
- Give to Others
- Skateboard Fun
- Bookstore
- Pet store
- Fishing
- Go-karts
- 4 wheeling
- Ziplining
- Bumper cars
- Kickboxing
- Horseback riding
- Road trip
- Geocaching
- Cook something together
- Camping
- Video games
