Creating Meaningful Time

with your kids (and help keep them away from drugs and alcohol)! 

Here are some tips!

 

· Make a regular habit of spending time with your child without interruption and without other distractions. Listen to what they have to say.

· Give your children a voice in selecting, planning, and preparing activities.

· Be A Kid Again! Think and play like a kid — read a bedtime story in a funny accent, wear a chef’s hat to make dinner, play a game of chess with edible pieces.

· Take part in fun activities rather than sitting on the sidelines — play a game of baseball, write your own family play and cast different family members as the characters. Jump In and be silly together.

· Select games and activities that both you and your children can do and will enjoy.
