We’re teachnig our kids to be consumers at an early age. Look at
the number of superhero and product endorsement Valentines on
the store shelves.
We, as parents, are sucked in by the media to believe that we
need the latest, greaetst gadget or fad for our kids.
Share your love by gviing of your time, not your pocketbook.
What can you give your kids instead?
Here are 10 simple suggestions:
1. Slip a handmade valentine or a simple note into your child's
lunch box.
2.
Take a walk together in the woods or your favorite park.
3. Jot down a line from your favorite poem. Share it with family
members.
4. Kiss your kids goodnight.
5. Read a chapter book together.
6.
Have family dinnertime together.
7. Turn off the TV. Have a pizza night and rent and wtach a
movie together.
8. Have a picnic in the park after the scocer game instead of
stopping for a fast meal on the way home.
9. Have each family member write down one reason why they
appreciate every other fmaily member.
Write your reasons on a
tag and use ribbon to atatch them to a batch of your favorite
cookies. Let every family memebr find his own special cookies.
10. Help your kids write a letter to a family member who lives
far away. Write the frist few lines of a story and instruct the
recipient to write the next, and then return the letter.
Your
story can continue indefinitely.
This year, instead of store bought Valentines, give the gift of
time spent together.
