I like your tip about being the student instead of a teacher to your son, and let him educate you on the matters you have little to no knowledge on. My son is a baseball enthusiast while I’m more of a basketball fan. I’ll try to listen to him more about his favorite baseball team and let him teach me baseball jargon, so I can understand the sport when we watch it. I’ll also try to get tickets to baseball sporting events so we can have a father and son bonding experience. Thanks a lot!

I was just spending time with my friend’s two step-daughters, and they really bonded with me in just one day because I actually spent time with them and asked them questions about their life.
I think many parents forget how important just listening and being interested is. All you have to do is make your kids feel like they’re really important and be interested in their lives.

I have 3 boys, but I thought I’d share how I bonded more with my oldest (now 17). A couple of years ago he got into watching The Walking Dead series. Lovely, right? I watched part of one of the first season’s episodes and had to leave the room because it was so intense and gory! I spent the next few seasons (of the series) saying how much I disapproved of him watching such a violent show and he kept trying to explain to me that there was actually a very good plot line – that the show was about much more than gore and violence. So, one night I asked if I could watch it with him. I struggled through the scary parts, and I decided that maybe there was some truth into his claim that the show had an interesting storyline. I remember thinking, maybe this could be our thing – watching this show together. It only took a few episodes before I was asking him a million questions about the story and its characters (which I had to learn to do only during commercials!) and suddenly I was hooked. He got a real kick out of it and some of my reactions to the gore, and would remind me every Sunday evening, “Don’t forget – Walking Dead is on tonight!” He did make me go watch the first 2 seasons after season 3 ended because my questions (“Who is that? Why are they going there?? What happened to him?!!”) were relentless! He went away to boarding school this year and I still watched the show every Sunday night of this past season, and because he had Sunday night study hours, would text him immediately after each show to say “Call me tomorrow as soon as you’ve finished watching it!”, dying to talk about it. He always laughs and says, “Relax – you know I will…” – and he does. It is the call that I most look forward to! I am so glad that I decided to step out of my comfort zone, and step out of my condemnation of the show, and lastly, step out of my own preconceived perceptions to be able to see that his interest in this series was valid! (My younger sons never asked to watch it, though, thank God – it really has some disturbing and horrifying scenes sometimes, and I would never have let them!) Who woulda thunk that a bunch of zombies would bring my oldest baby and I so much closer?!

Some great ideas, i’ll save this away for when Sprog gets a bit bigger. At the moment, he just loves learning and messing around with both of us!
