The best gift you can give a child

Have you ever felt frustrated or guilty for not connecting with your kids as much as you had hoped?

Maybe you used to be close when they were babies and toddlers but distance has grown between you as years have passed.

Maybe work commitments and a busy life schedule have meant that you spend less and less one-on-one time together.

You are not alone. I struggled with this too for a while, then through trial and error I learnt that:

• The best gift you can give a child is to be Present. Being there in the moment for them is all they want.

• Play is the language of childhood. It’s how kids communicate. If you want to connect with your child, then playing with them is essential.

• To Listen is a superpower. Kids want to know you value them.

At Create Animate we follow the principles of Play, Connect & Create which we have found to be successful in engaging with and building strong bonds with kids.

We provide amazing, fun and easy bite-sized creative animation and modelmaking projects for you to use during your family time together..

Each project ensures:

• You are present with your child and engaging together in something fun.

• You have an activity to initiate playing together.

• You have an opportunity to listen and build a strong connection with your children as they explore their creativity and imagination.
