Parental Connection Advice/Ideas

1 value - Virtual OK - Posted Jan 19, 2017

As a father without custody of my child, visitation only, I have to get creative with how I use those precious moments I get with my offspring. This day and age it is easy to get wrapped up with modern conveniences such as your phone or another electronic like a television. While you can still share quality time with your kids with these tools, it is more common to hinder the experience and quality of the time you get to spend with one another.

In my opinion the best bonds are formed through exposure to direct engagement and undivided attention. Activities that are engaging in physical, mental, and emotional interactions form memories that will last a lifetime for all parties involved. It may sound neglectful to those obvious to the situation, but I rarely buy toys for my kid. I only have the one, so she rarely gets playtime with others around her age while I have her. Participating in playtime is a big deal, but it's more stimulating to the brain to make-believe and limit the distractions of objects. Encourage the connection between people, not things, they only get in the way.

This service offers advice for activities and other parental ideas that focus on the principles of connectivity, love, and education. The incorporation of these practices may take a substantial effort on your part depending on your current parenting style, but as parents we should be learning from our children just as much as we are teaching them.

Training & Qualifications


My daughter is five years old and hasn't lived with me in years. I have to make it a point to succeed as a parent through the quality of my time rather than the quantity. With that being said, having both quality and quantity are ideal.

I have maintained a healthy and positive connection with my daughter due to being clever with time management and engagement.

Availability & Preferences


I am relatively always available via messaging.

Trading Preference: Pay it forward – pass on the good deed!

About Alx Vandiver

I'm a 26 year old divorced man born, raised, and reside in the Springfield, MO area. I have a five year old daughter and servered in the USMC for four years from 2008-2012. I excel at most things I in...vest my time and mind into, especially matters of a creative or problem-solving origins. I'm a fountain of knowledge and experience, over the years I have expanded my horizons to a multitude of depths. I'm exceptional at analyzing different view points and giving unbiased feedback. I'm a communication enthusiast and love to explore the minds of others, feel free to pick at mine. Personally, I'm a bit of a hippie. I'm all about peace, love, and equality. I have an opinion of the value of a dollar, to me it's worthless. How can I value paper that it is unlawful to physically create with? In my downtime I like to draw, write, and juggle 3-ball. I'm musically inclined and aspire to explore more of that creative outlet soon. Once I aquire a kiln to fire clay in I will also be producing ceramics again, another one of my rusty passions. I play a few board and video games, however most of my knowledge base in the criteria is of retro games/consoles. If you need anything at all I'm a good person to start seeking help from, if I can't solve your issue I'm resourceful enough to point you in the right direction. Please don't hesitate to contact me, it brings me great joy to be of service to others in anyway I can be of assistance.show more
