About LIOHAN Parent Child Activities and Events
Paul came to LIOHAN recently with one of his children, his 7 year old. He realized he never made the time to really connect with his kids and wanted more in their relationship than he had with his parents growing up.
During their parent-child date, they
- explored their different senses – scientists now understand we have more than 5!
- learned about chemical reactions
- discovered surprising things about how they think and
- most importantly, created precious new memories
Immediately after they couldn’t wait for their next parent-child date!

Month-Long Series
Themed series of multiple one-on-one parent-child activities. Each date builds upon each prior session. You’ll work together as a team during the course of the month, learning with and from each other.
Event Overview
While we aim to keep the exact details of each Parent-Child “Date” a surprise, LIOHAN events are generally designed with the following components supporting a common theme:
Engagement
A fun little warm-up activity to help set the mood and get us centered in the moment, focused on your loved one.
Experiment
An opportunity to spend time getting to know the materials and concepts that you will be experiencing during the event. A brief but tantalizing start to the date!
Entertainment
After the initial Experiment phase, we’ll do a deeper dive into the event’s overall theme. An attention-grabbing demonstration that will leave you wanting more.
Exploration
You get the opportunity to apply what you have just learned and to test the theories introduced. Most events will guide you to create something you can proudly bring home afterwards. A memento of your time together!
Expression
Look into each other’s eyes and reflect on what you just experienced together and what you just learned about each other.
