Making Your Home The Center Of ActivityWritten by Dionna Sanchez
As our children grow up, there are certain boundaries that naturally loosen as they become more mature and independent. When - and - if these boundaries ease up, all depends on how responsible each individual child is. When that point comes, your child's peers will seem to dominate their world more than you. There is a way for you to still guide your child without domineering them. That way is to make your home center of their activities. By doing this you will learn who your child's friends are, how they act around one another and most importantly; what they are doing. Make your home inviting to your children's friends. Encourage your child to invite them to activities. Some ideas of things they could do in your home are: *watch movies (enabling you to oversee content) *have BBQ's (kids can bring their own meat to lesson costs)
| | Keeping In Touch With GrandparentsWritten by Dionna Sanchez
Grandparents are one of most treasured blessings we can give to our children. It is so delightful, to see joy and sparkle in their eyes when they get to visit.Some children are very lucky to live near their grandma and grandpa. Some, aren't as fortunate. For these kids, it can be sad sometimes. They aren't able to share things as consistently as their friends can. Their are wonderful ways for your parents' and your children, to stay in touch and really get to know each other. It's an important part of life for both parties' to be able to be involved with one another. *Have your son or daughter keep a daily calendar. They can write what they do at school, weather conditions, and even how they feel each day. Have grandma or grandpa do same. Then, each month - they can exchange calendars through mail! A great way to know how each other's days are going.
