"When is it a good time?"

When is the best time to INTERACT, RELATE, and COMMUNICATE with your child? This is a commonly asked question, and understandably so.  We are all very busy in our daily life with work, school, sports, and other extra curricular activities. Many parents spend hours driving their kids from one activity to another, so when can we find time to build meaningful relationships?

The answer is simple... ANYTIME:

Driving around town, INTERACT, RELATE, and COMMUNICATE

Cooking dinner at home, INTERACT, RELATE, and COMMUNICATE

Doing yard work on the weekend, INTERACT, RELATE, and COMMUNICATE

Cleaning the house or garage, INTERACT, RELATE, and COMMUNICATE

Doing homework at night, INTERACT, RELATE, and COMMUNICATE

Waiting for siblings to finish, INTERACT, RELATE, and COMMUNICATE

At Learning on the Log we INTERACT, RELATE, and COMMUNICATE in every location we visit. It does not matter if we are hiking, swimming, playing sports, rock climbing, or commuting in the van - our goal and focus remains the same. We INTERACT, RELATE, and COMMUNICATE, we develop relationships that have meaning, and we teach social skills that can be generalized to other areas of a child's life.
