HOW TO MAKE VISITATION SPECIAL FOR YOU AND YOUR KIDS Being divorced with children can be difficult. You have less time than before to spend with your kids, and you are co-parenting with someone you previously thought would be your partner for life. However, that also means the time you do have with your children — for both them and you — is more precious and meaningful than ever before. That is why those immortal Latin words carpe diem — Latin for “seize the day” — are more poignant and important to remember than ever. Here are two ways to get the most out of your parenting time and make enjoyable, lasting memories for both you and your children. QUALITY MEALS DURING QUALITY TIME One of your most important responsibilities as a parent is taking care of the nutritional needs of your children. Providing quality meals during your parenting time can help take care of your children’s physical needs and show you care enough about them to prioritize their needs. Find foods your children enjoy without allowing them to overindulge in unhealthy snacks. PLAN AHEAD Just like everything else that’s important, to get the most out of your parenting time, you need to plan ahead. Think of places you would like to go and experiences you would like to share with your little ones. Incorporate engaging activities that are of interest to you and your children, like going to the museum, playing board games, or working together on a creative project. Even spending time reading together can help you all learn while enjoying one another’s company. You should also query your children about what they want to do and how they would like to spend their time with you. Once you have the time planned out, it’s easier to spend fulfilling days together.
