4 Tips for Family Gatherings

1. Help the Grandparents Interact With Your Kids Most children adore their grandparents, and vice versa. Helping the grandparents interact with your kids, by bringing along a favorite board game or books for them to read aloud will create great bonds at the family gathering with many fond memories.

2. Take Photos, Videos and maybe Write a Story to Build Family Memories  If you document these family times with photos, videos, or written stories, the memories can be shared for generations and they will become the treasured possessions for future Family Gatherings.

3. Don’t Create Expectations that Anyone will be Different Love people for where ever they are at.  Replace judgement for curiosity and find out why people think and do things differently that you would.  Curiosity that seeks to understand rather than to criticize creates meaningful conversation, and communication that seeks to understand the other creates empathy and good will.  So the next time you get frustrated, get curious.

4. Get the Kids Involved with the Adults  Get all ages of children involved by having them create something decorative and crafty for a place settings so your family reunion guests will know where to sit.  See if you can come up with at least one activity or game that everyone can participate in. If your kids are over 5, charades can be a fun for families, ‘eye spy when my little eye’ is one that enables them to become aware of their surroundings and can provide teachable moments.

family gatherings are fun
