Today’s Program
You probably spent every day with her for years, but what are some memorable moments you’ve had with Mom? What do those memories say about you? Dr. Randy wrote a book about Childhood Memories, and he’s here to share your stories about Mom and encourage all of us to intentionally make memories, as well. We’d love to hear from you! join the Intentional Living conversation at 1-888-888-1717. You can also comment on THIS PAGE (below), weigh in with your thoughts and questions on our Facebook page, and you can follow us on Twitter @TheILCenter.Making Memories With Your Family
Three tips to get you started:
1. Know what your children will enjoy.
It has to be appropriate for their age, their gender, and their limitations. You have kids with different interests at different stages of life, so find something that all of them can take part in and have fun.
2. Choose something that involves each child.
With my children, Evan was always very interested in sporting activities, Andrea in doing something physical outdoors and Derek loved science. So, I knew a trip to the art museum, something my wife Donna and I would enjoy, was not a good option for a family outing. There has to be give-and-take and compromise.
3. Pick activities that engage the senses.
It needs to be something your children can smell, touch and see, because that’s what they’re going to remember. Try activities that will become a tradition and have your own unique family “stamp” on it. Instead of doing 20 different things, find a couple things that your family can carry on from one generation to the next.
