Play

Set a goal this month to play more. As parents, we sometimes forget how to play or why we need to play. As adults in busy, stressful lives we need to play so we can relax and maintain close relationships with our children, and our kids grow and develop before our eyes. Kids from toddlers to teens play as part of their job of growing up. Help them by giving them the freedom to play and setting aside your ideas of what they should be doing. Be patient and follow the lead of your children and let them take the initiative to choose what they play. Don't miss opportunities for social interactions, play with them as they would want you too. Ask your kids if you can play with them and when they say "yes", wait for direction and have bunches of fun.

Have fun in February!
