so true
Hi,
I agree ... it's important to talk honestly about stress and to create situations which make it comfortable for kids to talk to us. I like the idea of snacks (and puzzles) as a time for 'tuning in' with our kids. We need to be available to them and let them know they can tell us what's on their minds. This way, when they are adolescents, they will confide in us (it worked that way for me and my kids - now 14 and 21).
The 'freeze' idea is a great one! What is more important than open communication among parents and kids?
Thanks so much for your posts!
I bet there are some other wonderful ideas happening in other homes too. Share them with us ~
