Have a read of this article, at One Space we believe that spending quality/special time, enhances your relationship and grows your child's self esteem.
This idea is going one step further and sounds pretty much fun for all
After all we would pour everything into a new relationship and have lots of fun and giggles, why not make the same effort with the people in our lives already. The ones who really deserve it?!
What do you think?
Yes me too! I am planning one this weekend for my daughter, we seem to have been so busy and like ships passing in the night.
Guess what she needs a new pair of jeans - so we are going into town, but then after that she has suggested we make supper together and watch a film and then 'have a lie in on Sunday' - thats my girl!! 
Hi,
I think this sound like something to try. I spend so much time telling my son to stop doing things as he has ADHD that a period of time he can be himslef would be good for him. I know he can not help doing the things he does and he has a wonderfull imagination, full of energy.
Hi alibar, I think your time will be fun and interesting.
When my daughter was smaller, someone mentioned that I should spend more one on one time with her. I was astonished! I spent my every waking moment by her side. However I hadn't realised that although we were in the same vicinity, I was cleaning, washing, shopping etc and although I was talking with her all the while. I was not solely focussed on her. It made a huge difference to our relationship and to her behaviour generally when I started to stop and listen!
Its crazy how these things get overlooked.
An update on our 'love bomb' weekend - we had a fab time! Didn't get the jeans, town was packed and I could feel it getting my back up, so we ended up getting an indian take out and watched a film. We talked endlessly and I learnt even more new things about her. Its incredible, how we overlook the most important little people in our lives, even though she is almost 18, she told me things that she had never shared with me before. Brilliant all round 
I can't wait to hear about your love bomb!
What an interesting article. I particularly liked the way it pointed out you could have a staycation and it did not need to cost money
