The quality of life is determined
by its activities. Aristotle
When you don't have activities planned, it is likely that you will hear:
I'm Bored! What Can I Do Now? If that sounds familiar, but you would like to hear a little less of it, plan some Games and Family Fun. Check out the Group Activities for weekend get-togethers with family, friends or neighbors. Hey, it never hurts to have a few new tricks up your sleeve!
Take some time to enjoy a favorite hobby, or develop a new one. Sharing your interest in various Hobbies with a child can have a monumental effect on his or her self-esteem, desire to learn, and might even increase the likelihood of (gasp) cooperation!
Sometimes it can be difficult to find common ground with even one’s own children. As my kids grow older, it is nearly impossible to keep up with their likes and dislikes (although Hannah Montana seems to still be quite popular). One way that I can be sure to connect with my son; however, is through our shared love of photography. Even when there is no time to plan a specific outing: I know that if I put a camera in his hands, communication is sure to follow.
Don't be fooled by the calendar.
There are only as many days in the year as you make use of. Charles Richards
