  1. I had a lovely date with my oldest daughter on Friday too. My youngest is only six months and he and I spend time in the evenings after the girsl are asleep. My oldest daughter 7 demands personal time and we get it fairly often. My middle childe unfortunatly doesn’t get the opportunity much and she doesn’t gennerally like to take advantage of it if we do. Last week I wanted to take her out to breakfast but she wanted her big sister to come with us. This weekend however we did end up getting some time together. We went out to the swing set while the baby was sleeping and Mommy was out with the big sister. I completely agree with you Jeff one-on-one time is a must. It’s difficult to do but absolutly necessary.

  4. I take or oldest, now 7, out to breakfast most weekends and I absolutely agree with you. I learn more about what she’s up to and who her friends are during these awesome mornings than the whole week combined. I plan to keep it up as long as she’s willing to be seen with me in public. Now that our youngest is 2, she is old enough for us to start the same tradition. It doesn’t have to be going out to breakfast, it can be as simple as going to the park together. As long as it’s one on one.

  7. I only have one child, and he’s two, so one-on-one time is easy to achieve. The problem is that he’s a mamma’s boy and has little interest in me. Wah!

  10. Loved this post. My daughters are 4 and 6, and my 6 year old is at the point that she really loves one on one time. Because she is so young I take her to our local Italian restaurant for a late lunch. They all know her so they treat her like royalty. This is predominantly a dinner place so it’s pretty empty during lunch. If you have young kids I highly recommend taking them to a place that’s not very crowded. The lack of distractions really helps them focus and get into the conversation. I love those moments as much as she does. Thanks for the great post.
