Let’s talk 1-on-1 dates with our children. ❤️ Spending intentional quality time with each of our kids has become foundational to our heart connection and relationship with them. And no—it doesn’t have to be fancy. Sometimes it’s a trip to the grocery store or a library run. Other times it’s grabbing dessert and walking around the bookstore. The point isn’t perfection—it’s presence. As our children get older and more independent, I’ve realized that without intention, we could go days or even weeks without truly getting to their hearts. And honestly, sometimes they don’t even know what’s going on inside. So when I can steal away a few minutes alone with one of my kids, I try to start the conversation with a meaningful question or two. I usually share my answer first—it helps break down walls and invites them to open up. The goal isn’t to check a box—it’s to remind our children they are seen, known, and deeply loved. And often, one or two thoughtful questions opens the door to vulnerability and connection that lingers long after. What questions would you add to the list?
