5 Tips for connecting with your pre schooler after a busy day
By The Kiss Co's founder (and business owner + parent to 3 kids), Ami Muir
You've had a busy day - you want the time you have at home to be precious but you're tired and they're tired too!
Here are 5 simple tips to bring you both into the moment:
1. Play
Get on the floor and allow the play to happen. Children can feel our distractions so commit to 5 minutes - its a period of time you know is achievable so you'll be able to be less distracted.
2. Ask them to help with dinner
Could they stir a pot while you cook? Perhaps they could wash vegetables for dinner? Combining our children with our routines means we get the jobs 'done' but also get time with them. It also gives them a huge sense of achievement!
3. Go outside
Start with 5 minutes. Take them outside. Let them lead you. Magic happens here!
4. Watch TV with them
Meet them where they are. Sit with them - even if its briefly - and ask questions. Children come alive sharing their interests with their parents.
5. Read
Reading develops strong connections between children and adults and it can happen in an instant. Take a book and snuggle up. This is your moment to truly be together.
Little moments matter
Our mission is to provide the inspiration, encouragement and tools to help create precious slow-time moments so together we can love, laugh and share no matter how busy or complicated our day-to-day lives are.
The Kiss Co. exists to make it easy to find and experience these tiny moments of love, because we understand how much the little moments matter.
"These books are the sweetest little books for babies and young children. They're filled with love and make me smile every time I read them. Just gorgeous!"

"What makes this book stand out to me and my granddaughter is the colorful and striking illustrations since the story itself is quite simple, yet poignant."

"I have found that slowing down is the best way to allow special moment to happen. Being truly being present with the little ones you love. Precious moments are hard to share in our busy world but when I put the madness on pause and actively slow down with my children I discover magical little moments start to bubble to the surface in such beautiful, unexpected ways.
My dream is to help everyone find that precious slow-time with the little ones they love. I hope our stories, games and keepsakes make your loved ones feel like you’ve wrapped them a great big hug – or smothered them with gentle kisses, whether you are snuggled together on the couch or separated by the oceans of life."
