From FOCUS ON THE FAMILY
Making Home a Happy Place
By Dr bill Maier
Have you ever noticed how some families are just fun
to be around?
They always seem to be laughing and having a good time.
Well
Good parents understand the importance of creating
a happy atmosphere in the home.
Kids should enjoy being around their parents and siblings
and there are some very practical ways you can help
make that happen.
Begin by learning to laugh at yourself when things go wrong.
This teaches your kids not to take themselves too seriously
and shows them that everyone gets a chance to try again.
You should also be willing to try new things. Maybe you can
explore an ethnic restaurant from time to time and order meals
that seem fun and different.
Have everyone use their fingers to eat when you go out for
Indian food. Find ways to make mealtimes fun and engaging.
Or
walking backwards. Which child wouldn’t have a blast doing that?
The key is to look for ways to make life happy and fun for
your children. Give them a childhood to remember.
