Be a Better Parent Challenge - Day 22 - Dates with your kids

Whether you've got one kid or a bunch, it's really important to spend individual time with them. It's obviously a little easier when you have just one, and then, increasingly more challenging the more you add to your brood.

But it's become much more of an urgent priority to me, particularly with my son, who as my 2nd born and now middle child rarely gets any time with either of us alone.

So #22: Plan a date night with your kids

Granted, it doesn't need to be a night, obviously, and it certainly doesn't need to be anything extravagant. In fact, it could be something that you always do together, month after month. Breakfast out? Trip to a special playground? An afternoon at a museum? 

There are so many fantastic ways for you to connect individually with your kiddos, especially outside of your home, which always seems to be bogged down with 400 things that you need to do other than spend alone time with them.

And how did faking it go? I'm seriously faking it until we're all well again, which God I hope is soon.

My husband can't eat Thai food, so my daughter and I go out for Thai together once a month a so. We also go on Sushi dates. She's turning in to a little foodie, so I always have company. It is a wonderful way to connect with her.
