Have a date with your kid!

Postpartum Doula and mama Kimberly Bepler recommends taking your kid on a special date!
I recently took my six-year-old son Ari to a musical and had a date with just him. It was such a great time, and really made me appreciate having a growing friendship with my child. And I got to rediscover my love of the theater (at least the high school musical version of “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” kind of theater! (I am not exactly a big city girl!). What a fun time to have together, and now that I know he is interested in coming with me, it opens up a whole new chapter on our ‘mommy and son date’ activities. We also went out to Chinese food for “long, skinny noodles,“ his favorite, and I got to listen to him and focus on him in a way that I cant when we are with his younger sister. I highly recommend doing this with your own child!
