Activity Coupons for Spending Quality Time with Your Child
The daily grind often reduces the amount of fun and fulfilling time we get to spend with our families. However, quality time is essential to strengthening the parent-child bond and supports your child’s overall health.

Here are some ideas for using these coupons with your child:
- Paste them in your family calendar.
- Put a few of them on the fridge so you can pick one whenever you feel like it.
- Put them in a jar and draw a card when you need inspiration for an activity. Every activity is a surprise!
- Put one in your child’s lunchbox from time to time to give them something to look forward to after school.
- Etc.
The Importance of Spending Quality Time with Your Child
Every child needs to spend quality time with their parents every day, if only for a few minutes. What’s more, gestures of affection and tenderness reinforce secure attachment bonds: hugs, for example, cause our brains to release oxytocin, a hormone that promotes positive feelings.
Making room in an already busy schedule for quality time with your child may seem difficult, but don’t worry, it’s possible to add a whole host of affectionate gestures to your daily routine.
Here are a few things you can try:
- Cuddle up under the covers and read a book together
- Switch up your child’s homework routine
- Talk about how the day went or something that’s bothering your child
- Cook together
- Play games while you’re on the road
- Etc.
