Tip Of The Month
Ideas For Quality Family Time
November 2008
*Plan family nights - spend a whole evening with just the family: no cell phones, ipods, internet, etc. Spend 3-4 hours doing things together, like playing family games, going bowling, and eating dinner.
*Turn your cell phone off when driving your kids to and from school. The few extra minutes of time devoted to them will be noticed.
*Have dinner together. Talk about school, work, and plans for the weekend. Again, turn off your cell phones and ipods.
*Make one night a week "eat dessert first night."
*Start a family project, such as making Christmas presents for relatives, or scrapbooking.
*Have family walks.
*Bundle up and make snow men/angels/forts.
*Take turns renting movies for the family to watch together.
*Have a pajama day, where everyone stays in their pajamas and spends the day together.
