It is the desire of every parent to bring up children who are confident, resilient and curious. This can be achieved by sharing the experiences of these children from the youngest age. By following these Parenting Shared Experiences Artwork Lighthearted tips, you will bring up kids who are sharp and easy with life.

Take time to draw objects and paint images with the child. Children are not looking for parents who are exemplary drawers. Rather, they want a person who appreciates their work and who is ready to spend a few minutes with them for the sake of it. Make it colorful by using different colors and drawing shapes that are familiar.

Engage in child friendly games. However, ensure that it is the kid who should win. The energy in kids makes them want to play all the time. This means that it is you who will be making the adjustment. Hide items in the house and trace them, play hide and seek and run around. If the kids can jump, engage them in the jumps. Roll on the floor or carpet and arrange bricks. As you bond, you become a source of joy and create amazing light moments.

Sing. Well, not everyone can sing but kids do not care as long as dad or mom is producing some sound that feels rhythmic. Let them imitate television commercials, songs learnt in school or during play with other kids. They learn about objects but also learn to express themselves. This is a way of interacting with the world around them.

Take them for walks around the neighborhood, at the park or places where they can enjoy the scenery. It should be at a place they can learn something new. Prepare for the barrage of questions they will be asking. You become great friends if they can associate you with new learning experiences.

Engage in conversations even if they might seem aimless. Some of these conversations will be headed nowhere. You cannot even understand what they are saying. Allow them to be kids and join in the conversation as though you understand their concerns. They will point at objects or directions in wonder. Wonder with them and provide all the attention they require. Switch off the television, drop the phone and give them full time attention.

Help them solve problems without interfering with their creative processes. Children will want to fix bottles and pass through tiny openings. Help them when they get to their limit. However, do not make it any easy for them. It kills their creativity beyond stopping them from being the curious kids they are supposed to be.

Create memories that they can remember and you will have the most lighthearted generation. Be open to their drama and let them swing with you. They get into an amazing culture of laughter and enjoying the company of people. They begin to associate you with joy and happiness, in minute ways and carry the same into their advanced years.

A pleasant kid will grow into a bubbly adult. If they are to remain pleasant, you have to do the hard work of training them. Share activities with them and you become their ultimate source of happiness.
