Family-Time
Favorite Time
I love family-time. That is by far the best time of the week. That is the time when you can stop being an adult and revert back to your younger years. This is when the only thing on your mind is having fun.
There are 5 rules you need in order to make this work.
1)Same time and day every week
2)Everyone gets a chance to pick an activity
3)Everyone must participate in every activity
4)Make sure it is an activity everyone can do at the same time
5)Relax and have fun
Try to keep in mind that you can do anything you want. I like to be active. Hiking,biking,softball. But my all time favorite is raceing. I know it sounds silly but I like to chase the little ones around the track. I never catch them of course but thats ok, it is a lot of fun for everone.
The reason I like physical activities is because it's exercising while having fun. This is a way to get your family working out without them complaining about it.
There are 2 things I don't recommend, watching tv and playing video games. When you first talk about family night make sure this is understood.
The reason I don't like those activities are if you are watching you are not interacting with each other and that is a big part of
why you are doing this. I don't recommend video games because someone is usually standing around watching and that defeats the purpose.
Family-time is a great time to get healthy
if you make it fun everyone will look forward to it. Remember the healthier you are the longer you can enjoy your family.
