Yesterday was the day to talk about holiday traditions, but what do you do every day of the year to create family memories? Our own family traditions include nightly meals together. Or if we’re all home, asking the question, “How was school today?” No matter how detailed that answer is, I always try to listen because if it’s important enough for my child to talk about, it’s important enough for me to listen.
My Super Charged Life talks about some family rituals that are priceless, including:
Kids need affection to help them feel loved, important and secure. A married couple showing appropriate affection for one another in front of the kids also models how to behave in a healthy relationship and helps them to feel their family environment is stable. Make it a habit to snuggle up together on the couch when watching television. This makes this time more meaningful and productive. Also, don’t stop loving on your kids when they are older.
Excuses to hug! I love it! Happy Friday everyone!
