One-on-One Time: The Secret to Fewer Meltdowns

In the hustle of daily life, it’s easy to assume that being around our kids all day means we’re connecting—but quality matters more than quantity.

Just 10–15 minutes of undivided attention each day can make a world of difference in your child’s behavior and emotional health.

Here’s how to make it meaningful:

• Let your child choose the activity (even if it’s something silly!)

• Put phones away—eye contact and presence are everything

• Don’t use the time to correct behavior or teach—just enjoy them

You’ll be amazed at how fewer power struggles, better listening, and stronger connection naturally follow.

You don’t need hours—just a little intentional time, consistently.
