A secret handshake is a small but powerful connection ritual. Whether you do it with your partner, your child, or as a whole family, it becomes a fun, lighthearted way to say “I see you” - before bed, after a long day, or just because. Keep it simple or get creative with claps, snaps, and silly moves!
Come up with a handshake sequence just for you. It can be something simple - like a fist bump or or high five, or maybe a double tap, a wiggle, a dramatic slow-motion move? Your imagination's the limit. Try it before bedtime, when saying goodbye, or as a surprise during the day.
Add a surprise move: let someone add a new move each week to keep it evolving.
Make it a challenge: who can remember and perform it backward or in slow motion?
Add sound effects: Add a silly sound effect for even more fun.
