Children's activities often seem trivial or even unserious to adults. However, in a child's life, these activities hold great significance. When you know what matters most to your child, you can always make them happy.

Here are the 10 things that are crucial for every child.

1. If you have multiple children, find time to go for a walk with each one individually. Spend personal time with each child. It could be a bedtime conversation, a walk after school, or a tea break separate from the rest of the family.

2. Put a small chocolate bar with a note in your child's school bag along with their breakfast. Trust me – your child will love it and appreciate it.

3. Play Minecraft or another computer game your child enjoys with them.

4. Let your child jump in the puddles you come across. Buy rubber boots – and go for it.

5. If your child comes home from school gloomy and tired, refrain from asking about their day. Leave them in peace or quietly hand them a cup of tea. They will share everything during dinner if they want to. Give them time to recharge.

6. Tell your child more often how wonderful they are and what exactly you like about them.

7. Make heart-shaped pancakes for your child for breakfast.

8. Create a secret handshake or gesture that only you and your child will know.

9. Hang a corkboard in your child's room to leave each other sweet notes.

10. Thank your child for everything they do, even if they just hung up wet towels to dry or put groceries in the fridge.
