New year, new energy! Now is a perfect time to reconnect as a family and double down on some 2023 goals. Resolutions are a great opportunity to try something new, improve relationships, boost quality of or just have more fun. Book a family meeting, grab a piece of paper and start planning. Here are a few suggestions to get you started (if these don’t work for you, come up with your own as a family)…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Unplug as a Family<\/strong>. Schedule screen\/device\/Wifi-free time. Check out a new board game, talk a walk, play charades, sit and chat. Start small and achievable- maybe 30 minutes a week. It’s more about the intentionality than the quantity.<\/p>\n

Exercise as a Family<\/strong>. Exercise is key for physical and mental health – for kids and adults of all ages. Build in fitness as part of your family lifestyle. Talk a walk after dinner, plan a Saturday morning scavenger hunt through your neighborhood, sign up for a local 5K.<\/p>\n

Read as a Family<\/strong>. Sadly, we tend to read less with and around our kids as they age. Remember daily bedtime stories? Bring back regular reading time. You don’t necessarily have to read aloud – just read at the same time in the same place. Kids are influenced by seeing their parents read. Plan a trip to the library or your favorite book store, pick something good for everyone and snuggle up with a great book. Try to make family reading time happen 1-2 times per month.<\/p>\n

Do Chores as Family<\/strong>. No one likes to do them, but they need to get done. Make a list of top family chores and assign away. Even if you don’t “need” your kids to help, it’s important for them to participate. They’ll learn responsibility and appreciation.<\/p>\n

Eat Meals as a Family<\/strong>. Schedules are crazy, time is tight and the days fly by – but family meals matter. Even if it’s a 10-minute breakfast. Eating together introduces your kids to new foods, improves relationships, encourages positive eating habits, reduces stress and improves communication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
