Ten minutes of special time

Progress over perfection.

A little undivided attention can make connection easier. It does not need to be elaborate, purchased or perfect every day.

Try it together

  1. Choose a brief time when you can put distractions away and your child chooses a safe activity.
  2. Follow their lead and describe what you notice, without turning the activity into a lesson.
  3. Give a gentle ending warning and name one part you enjoyed. If today falls apart, try again tomorrow.

Words you could use

“I liked seeing how you built that bridge. Thanks for sharing your game with me.”

One manageable next step

Offer five to ten minutes of child-led time today.

Educational support only — not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Adapt to your child’s skills and supervise activities. If difficulties are persistent, intense or unsafe, seek qualified support. In an emergency call your local emergency number (000 in Australia).
