A Teachable Moment:
Finding Family Time
As the end of the school year approaches, life becomes even more hectic than usual, consumed by final projects, recitals, awards ceremonies and graduations! Everyone runs in different directions, and it can be challenging to find time to connect as a family.
Family time is, however, even more important during busy, stressful periods. Moments of connection afford you the chance to see how your child is weathering the end-of-year rush and (then also) offer support and other solutions as needed. So, when there's barely a moment to decorate cupcakes for the end-of year-party...how do you create these all-important family moments?
Yes, it can be tough, but here are four simple suggestions that will make it easier to sneak in family time:
#ONE: Family time doesn't have to mean everyone together at the same time. With so much to get done, it may not be possible for all family members to spend regular time together as you might at other times of the year. Rather, you may need to 'divide and conquer' during this hectic period. If one child is at an activity, doing homework or even taking a shower, it's an opportunity to spend time with your other child or children. If you have only one child and he is occupied, you might want to reconnect with your partner for a few minutes!
