Fun and Other ideas for families

Ever think about how your family will bond? This is a scary thought for many parents and has been for years. As with anything that is important this commitment to family and keeping them together takes time and resolve. The best thing that you can do is have the whole family have a Family Day in which there is nothing else happening that day but spending time with the family. No matter what the obstacles: work, activities, school, sports or other this day is solely for the family. Every part of the day is about quality time, focus, and togetherness.

Keep it simple but active since some children will be more active than others and/or younger. Cook breakfast and eat it as a family. Have the kids write up a list of activities they want to do that day on a piece of paper. Then take the lists and have everyone choose an activity from each list so that everyone gets a chance to have theirs chosen. For the younger ones it will probably be dolls, blocks, or hide-n-seek, but the activities don’t matter it is the time spent together enjoying each other’s company that matters. As the kids grow the activities will change from the simple things to movies, day-long adventures at an amusement park, hikes and the like. At the end of the day you all will feel more connected and ready for the week ahead. Family Day will turn into a treat at the end of a long and hard working week.
