• Commit to a vigorous outdoor
  activity over the weekend with your kids. Push the limits, and be
  creative.
• Listen to music that your child
  enjoys — keeping an open mind.
• Keep "dating" your
  daughter and scheduling fun activities with your son on a regular basis.
• Figure out how to have fun with
  your teen by immersing yourself in his world for an afternoon. Hang out
  together, read a book she likes, play his games, listen to her stories.
• Connect with other adults who
  play an important role in your child’s life — coaches, teachers, youth
  leaders — and compare notes on how your child is progressing.
• Shock your son or daughter by
  doing something together on his or her "turf" — skateboarding,
  playing hoops at the park, going to the mall.
• Plan special rite-of-passage
  events when your child reaches milestone ages like 13, 16 and 18.
• Tell your child you’ll pay if
  he goes to a movie with you. Afterward, ask questions about the film’s
  themes.
