Today, we're starting our mini-series on the greatest therapy hits with the #1 thing I talk to parents about, no matter what their reason for coming into my office. Whether it's because their kid is having meltdowns, is feeling depressed, worries a lot, has difficulty following directions, … The very first thing I talk to the parents about is increasing the quality and frequency of the time we spend with our kids, i.e. strategies to enhance quality time.

How do we as busy parents, with lots of demands and frequently raising multiple kids get the most bang for our buck when we're with them?

The idea is to find something you can do EVERY DAY to truly connect with your children in a way that makes them feel seen and works for your family. Let's walk this through!

In this episode on enhancing quality time with our kids, we cover:

• How to increase the quality and frequency of the time you spend with your kids;
• The 3 things to focus on during your special time with your kids;
• Leaning into your child's 'love language';
• How I implement these strategies with each of my children, specific to their own needs;
• And much more around enhancing quality time with your kids!
