[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 321751, member: 2423"] Yes, it works for relationship building. Noted child psychiatrist Stanley Greenspan calls this "Floortime" in his books and videos. We did this with our kids when they were younger. As they got older, we adapted it to weekly outings -- one-on-one time spent with a parent doing activities of their choosing. Sometimes it's a chat over a drink at Starbucks, a bike ride, a long walk with the dog or a trip to a museum. The point is to let the child have your undivided attention so he has time to share his thoughts and feelings and you have time to understand his world. Good luck with it. I hope it makes a difference. [/QUOTE]
