There Is Something Special About The Family

Happiness in a family rests on the culture developed by parents
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A family is special because of the love that flows in it. Develop a culture of love and fun in your family through some of these special traditions.

Charts of appreciation: Put up a chart and let your child be in charge of it. Anyone in the family, who feels that a member of the family deserves a star, can place it against his name as a gesture of appreciation. Your child will surely will feel special and also learn to appreciate.

Games that family play: Play 'spin the bottle' and give chance to each family member to speak about his day's experience. Dramatize history lessons. Play game of words where the one who speaks maximum words from an alphabet wins. It'll be lot of fun while your child gets to improve his self-expression and vocabulary.

Surprise each other: Plan surprise parties with your child for his father's birthday. Place a surprise gift for
mama for cooking so well. Place the holiday tickets under your child's pillow. This way the love in the family will keep flowing and multiplying.

Add fun, subtract stress: Fix half an hour before sleep as masti time having pillow fights, dancing crazily to music, tickling each other into giggles. Another tradition can be to cook lunch together on Sundays. These moments will relax each one in the family bringing you closer to each other.

Don't go to sleep with a heavy heart: Make a rule that no one will go to sleep with a grudge in his heart. Keep a bell which anyone can ring to talk to the family member he has a misunderstanding with. Appreciate the person whosoever speaks his heart out. Imagine your family with such a beautiful open communication! This way, love and only love will come in between you and your children.
