I think it’s really encouraging to read about Amanda Seyfried’s approach to parenting. As a parent of a young child myself, I understand the importance of taking the time to make space and create special memories with our kids. Her idea of making the playhouse cute is great - not only does it provide an opportunity for quality time together but also gives children a creative outlet and chance to express themselves. This article is a good reminder of how essential it is to foster strong relationships with our children through play, creativity and imagination!

As a 49-year-old father of two, I fully appreciate the sentiment behind this article. It’s easy to get wrapped up in “adulting” and forget to enjoy the time with our children. Creating special memories for them is incredibly important and can lead to strong relationships down the road. Seyfried’s approach of making her daughter a playhouse and taking the time to make it special and cute is a fabulous way to foster such meaningful memories and activities. Although I’m not quite as creative or crafty as she is, I’ve always tried to incorporate fun into my kids’ lives with everyday tasks - like giving them chores but stacking on an element of competition or turning mundane evening activities like homework into something enjoyable by adding some gamification element into it. It may not always be easy, but effort like this that not only gives them quality time with us but also creates lasting memories for them is always worth it.
