It is not enough that you go out as a family with your kids. Parenting requires one-on-one attention with your child. Picking a day to take one of them out is important because this builds a lot of great things in your relationship with your child along with their character.
In an article published by NewsOK, they highly recommend that dads and moms go and take their kids out and have an alone time with one of them. Through this, your child would be able to get to know you individually. The concern of some is that there might be a comparison. It is something that parents should not worry about because, as long as their actions and genuine and they intend to not have any competition with their spouse or partners in taking care of their kids.

Parents should start doing this while their kids are still young. This doesn't have to stop as well even when they reached their teenage years. Now, how it's done is sometimes easier said than planned. In that case, you must know how to organize your schedule very well with each of your children, so they won't have the tendency to feel jealous. This could happen if one of you is spending way too much time with the other and you are not balanced about it.
There are lots of fun things that you could do when you are out with your child. PopSugar recommends taking your daughter to a cooking class or your son to some karate sessions. A spa day with your daughter is always fun, especially for moms! Dads could also have some sport event dates with their sons and it is guaranteed to bring them closer together.
