I have been getting lots of questions about activity ideas. I have put together a list of 97 Fun Ideas you can do with you children for Special Time (from Toddler to Tween).

To recap Special Time is a minimum of 10 minutes a day uninterrupted every day (and if you can longer or twice a day) per child doing what your child wants to do.

​Special Time helps provide kids with the the attention they crave and the power to be in charge making them feel important. This has meant that kids will become more cooperative, play more alone and be less likely to seek out attention in negative ways.

The below are suggestions, be sure to let your child choose which activity they want to do so they get the dose of power.
