Did you know that one-on-one time with your child can benefit your relationship？ Experts consider play between a parent and child a vital link in a childs ability to develop social-emotional， cognitive， language， and self-control skills.

Yet how often do you find time in your busy schedule to focus fully on your children？ Parents are often with their children during morning hours， or evening hours before the days end. But that time doesnt count.

When spending one-on-one time with your child， you must stop your other activities—put down the phone， leave the dishes—and focus on being with your child. All it takes is as little as 10 minutes daily to instill a sense of trust and send the message that your child is special.

“Even if were with our kids all day long， carving out focused， dedicated one-on-one time is an absolute game-changer，” child experts Deena Margolin， and Kristin Gallant， a parent coach， added.

Spending one-on-one time with your children sends a powerful message that they are a priority in your life， despite your busy schedule， according to the blog Fathers. It doesnt have to be a fancy outing or activity; the gift of your time alone with them makes them feel valued， needed， secure， and confident.

One-on-one time can also create a safe space for children to open up and share their thoughts and feelings. For example， an outing to a park or an ice cream store can engender kids to talk about whats going on in their lives. By being present and available， a parent can seize these opportunities to connect with their child and deepen their relationship.

Shared experiences like a trip to the grocery store or helping someone in need offer valuable teaching moments for both parent and child. By handling unexpected situations together， parents can model mature and graceful responses while also gaining insight into how their child approaches challenges.
