Raise your hand if you feel like the holiday season was a blur of frenzied activity. Yah, me too. Don't we all sometimes worry that, in all of the busyness, we miss connecting with the ones we love the most? So now that we've closed the storage tub to end another holiday season, let's start thinking about reestablishing a family routine.
By creating a rhythm in our families, we have the chance to strategically use the time we already spend together. Most families have certain times of the day that they're together, maybe in the morning before the day gets started, or the quiet of bedtime. Often, with a little effort we can use that time to connect with each other and teach our kids to connect with God.
This month's Parent Link Live podcast on www.OrangeParents.org suggests that we reclaim one ealtime each week. Use the questions on your weekly Parent Cue to start conversation as a family. Or, if you're out at mealtime, download the Parent Cue app on your smart phone for mobile mealtime discussion guides.
