Passing passion and entertainment to the next generation is a difficult task. Kids these days don't know the richness of the media we grew up with. It's hard to get interested in going out the same movies, TV shows, games, or comics.
But it's always great for you and your child to share their passion. That means you can spend more quality time together that you are both interested. When you're a father, there's very little better than that!
And with that in mind, here are some fun ways you can encourage your child's interest in what you love from their age.

Create a free zone for mistakes
But no matter what, take your time to make the atmosphere feel fun and easy. And don't forget that mistakes should be impossible right now.
Answering all their questions, or proceeding with instructions over and over again can be a bit frustrating and a test of patience, but here we are trying to incite the flames of their love.
Let me use the wrong color in that miniature soldier uniform. Have them practice kicking the ball in different ways before you get close to the goal. It's even more fun to pick up new ones and try them out when you're allowed to use the flow!
Buy something special
Kids love surprises. Especially when those surprises mean getting a new toy to play with! So why not buy cool and interesting products, games or comics from the same series?
Wrap it, sit and hand it over and let us know why this item is so special. This kind of process can attract their attention with something concrete, and once you deliver their present, you can experience the joy of discovering something together.
Children need to enjoy themselves to embrace new things. If you want to share your passion for something with them, don't forget this requirement. Your encouragement will have a much more impact when it's fun!
