Let Your Child Lead
I think it’s super important for us not to assume that our children like the same things as we do, or did when we were kids. I refuse to scare my child or threaten them with the “naughty list” or the idea that a creepy dude watches them when they are sleeping or from his spot on the shelf. I try to pick activities that are really child-friendly and then, if they aren’t or stop being fun, we go home. It’s as simple as that.
There’s a lot more where that came from right here. What would you add to her list?
