Happy New Year Everyone!!! We all make resolutions, but this is the year to make simple changes that will benefit your family and are easy to stick to. It seems like not only parents, but kids are "plugged in" all the time. Take time to recharge your entire family by following trying some of these simple ideas.
**UNPLUG - pick one night a week to declare a "NO TV or ELECTRONICS" night. Take the kids outside and play, do a family art project, etc. The idea is to focus on spending time as a family without cell phones, tv, computers, or video games.
**Declare a FAMILY MOVIE NIGHT. Make popcorn and other munchies, put on your comfiest pajamas, and enjoy a great movie as a family. You spend time together and its alot cheaper than going to the movies.
**Invite the kids to help you cook dinner. I know sometimes it's easier to do everything yourself, but having the kids engage in cutting vegetables or helping prepare a meal will gain family time and may even get the kids to eat their veggies.
