 Home Activities You Should Try Doing With Your Kids Most kids nowadays prefer to go through a long and extensive list of things to do everyday. As they are bound with an almost unlimited supply of energy, it should be a list filled with activities that are all super exciting. As a parent, spending time with them is precious because during these moments they start develop their attention spans and learn about the world around them. Furthermore, they also begin learning how fun it is to spend time with the family, and over time, the real value of spending time with family. You also create priceless memories together.. Here are some fun home activities to do with your kids. These are some of the best home activities to do as a family. Go ahead and try a few of them. Eating Together As A Family Believe it or not, eating meals together as a family has significant positive impacts on child development. The simple act of eating with your kids does a whole lot. It also provides the chance for conversation and lets parents teach healthy communication skills without any distractions from smartphones, television, computers, or mobile devices. Furthermore, having family meals, dinners, in particular, has been associated with: Acquiring a greater sense of resilience Attaining higher self-esteem Decreased risk of teen pregnancy Diminishing the risk of depression Lessening the chances for substance abuse/drug usage Lowering the likelihood of eating disorders Reduced rates of obesity Additionally, eating meals as a family allows every family member to discuss their day and share any exciting news, issues or concerns with each other.. Play Games Together If you bring video games into your home, you should do your best to screen them. Better yet, learn how to play them. Why do you ask? Well, first, your kids will "kick your butt," to use their phrasing, even so, it is a good thing for children to see their parents as human and vincible occasionally. Secondly, it would guarantee a hilarious response at your lack of dexterity. Finally, some video games have somewhat redeeming virtual reality, because they mimic real-world activities such as baseball, bowling, dancing, skiing, and table tennis, which, is certainly much better than games where you blow each other up. Just remember to set time limits because too much video game time can harm their eyes. Do The Laundry with Flair Turn one of the most mundane home activities into a fun and enjoyable time with the kids. While you show them how to do the laundry, consider acting as robots or characters from a favorite movie to make this chore more fun. Alternatively, have a laundry room singing contest where each child takes turns singing one song (loudly!) while folding laundered clothes. So, no matter how many the piles of clothing you are going to wash, it should not matter as long as you and your child/children are having fun. Repair Stuff Together Never fix a change a tire, leaky faucet, paint the fence, or replace the furnace filter without the company of your kids. Making some improvements around the home is a magnificent way to spend some quality time with your children. Besides creating memories together, it teaches them how to properly use and care for the tools while giving them a few vital skills for adulthood. The attic, the basement, and the home's crawl space are all classrooms for learning; areas where your children learn how things work and how to fix things safely. Give them a flashlight, and talk them through the job you are doing. Explain what they need to accomplish and, once it is over, praise them for a job well done. As your kids mature, you then hold the flashlight for them. Instead of dreading things that break, you will see built-in shelves, new cupboards, and paint jobs as bonus opportunities for time with your kids. Create New Traditions You do not have to wait for the holidays or vacations to connect with your children. Creating your very-own Family Traditions is something special that allows the family to bod and create memories that lasts forever. Weekly Sunday breakfast together. Spend Friday game night with them. Do weekend shopping or gardening. These simple, yet fun activities can bring the family together. Dining out on the same night each week is a good start. Scheduling other conflicting activities during these moments is a big no-no because it is the family's quality time. Whatever tradition you choose to create, make sure everyone in the household, including you the parents, honors the fixed period of time. Everyone should show up and unplug. No texting, no social media, and no TV (unless it is Family Netflix Time..) are allowed. Spending intentional, uninterrupted, quality time with your child has infinite priceless rewards. No matter the how many the toys that they may have, or activities they do with their friends, it will never compare to the time spent simply being with you.
