Great advise. As the dad of extremely impressionable 3 & 18mo olds, I find myself working very hard to listen. The “I love you” part is the most rewarding part of all, because it comes back to me 10-fold.

How true, especially the silly stuff. I make it a point to do goofy stuff with my kids, make silly metaphors, and word plays. Since I work at home a lot, I get requests to play frequently, so recently I got to rediscover the trampoline, although my weight bounced both of them around quite a bit.

Being ridiculous is a great one. My kids love it and I think it helps them to see that when it comes to family…you can just be yourself. Nice Post!

Jeremie, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT! Thanks so much for sharing your “ah uhv oo” moment. Awesome. Also, “Stop and Pay Attention” is also a great addition to #1. Have fun on #3!

Being “Ridiculous” with your kids from time to time should be required behavior! Crawling and being the “horsey” is fun, isn't it! LOL. Great to hear from you Chris, and hope all is well!

Some great tips. For me number five truly payed off recently. I always tell my son (21 months) that I love him and the other day, after letting him know I received my best gift as a Dad so far:

"ah uhv oo"

I stopped dead, then gave him the biggest hug he has probably had yet. Best day as a Dad so far, and there have been many amazing ones.

I would add this tip to the list:

Stop what you are doing and pay attention: I know it isn't always possible depending on what you are doing, but when I am busy doing something and my son comes pulling on my pant leg for attention, or wants to show me something he is excited about I try and stop what I am doing and give him my undivided attention.

Great post, my son is currently spinning in the middle of the living room, time to join in on tip #3 and spin till I hit the floor.

Tip three is the best, Jeff. My ten month old son recently learned how to crawl and I have found that I love cruising around the house on all fours with him in toe and my three year old daughter on my back. Rolling around on the floor after work with two kids and a bunch of toys = awesome!

Certainly if your office is as cool as a ship there's no question taking your kids to work will always be an adventure (for you and them!) I am jealous!

Showering in the rain with your clothes on is always fun (and very efficient from a laundry point of view!) Thanks, as always, for your comment, and for sharing! Yes, PLAY is a good one to add!
