Tonight I was able to go have a nice dinner with my family, come home and play outside, and then come inside and watch a movie. What a fantastic evening it was!! I decide my last post of the week would be about the importance of family and the time that we should spend with them. I think it can be very rewarding for both the adults and the children. The children feel loved when they get that special time.
My kids think it's a big treat when we go out to eat, because we don't do it that often. They also love to play outsite, and it's been so nice lately. I've been reading lately that children actually have better behavior when they spend more time with thier family and do these types of things. You can read some great articles on http://www.parents.com/, http://www.americanbaby.com/, or you can just use a general search engine like http://www.yahoo.com/ to find some great articles.
I also recently came upon a great coupon for $4 off on some hasbro games!! Big Lots then had a sale for there hasbro games at $5. I was able to ad match it at walmart and get them for a $1 a piece. So my family is now going to have a game night once a week on Sunday! It will be a family night without friends and just us. I want them to understand the meaning of family, and that spending time together is important. I love my boys and husband so much, and can't wait for them to have families of thier own. OK, I guess I can wait a while. I still want all the time I can get with them and keep them to myself. It was be hard to share them when they get older.
I think children are the best thing that could have ever happended to me. My life would be empty without them. It is so hectic all the time, that I would be bored without them. They are just so much fun, and I need that in my life. They are absolutely my life. I suggest all parents on here reading this to start a family night if you don't already have one......
Until next time.......
I agree that family is important. My husband,kids and grandbabies are my main focus in life.
ReplyDeleteI love having family time! My 16 year old daughter would rather have friend time though, LOL. Children do have better behavior when they spend more time with their family. I think that it is because when they don't get enough family time they act out to get attention. Family game nights are a great idea!
