2. Jam out to a Self-Curated Playlist

Bond over making a shared playlist with your child and have a dance party together! This is a fun way to get active and laugh over some silly dance moves.

5. Cook a Family Dish 

Cooking together can be a blast, and it’s always rewarding to pass along family recipes. In Pippa Park Raises Her Game, food plays a big role in Pippa’s family dynamic, which often centers around homemade Korean staple dishes. If you don’t have a family recipe, why not create your own? Don’t forget to write down the steps and ingredients in case it tastes amazing!
