An urban footpath from www.wikipedia.org

 

If you have been following my blog during the A to Z Challenge and you are now thinking that I should have been doing this in my life, then ever fear you can. All it takes is for you to change your ways and go down a new path.

Your kids might not notice at first that you changed anything. But believe me they do. If you start reading a book at bedtime, spend one on one time with them, or even start sitting down at the kitchen table for dinner, they will notice. The stuff that they might not notice right away is if you telling them you love them more often than you have been doing.

At first this might cause you to have a confused look on their faces. Change hardly goes smoothly in any part of your life. But they will get with it and then it will be part of the new routine. If you decide to start eating healthier and feeding your kid’s healthier options then they might get confused. But after a few times then it becomes normal to them. Children are so easily molded when they are at a younger age.

I’m not telling you that you have to change or forcing you to change your current ways. You are an adult. But when I did change my ways and following what I have been posting on this site a few years ago. The rewards from the changes have been awesome.

Like I mentioned in yesterday’s post, you are making memories with your child and that might be the thing you are changing.

What new path or changes did you do that would benefit your kids or family? Was it a good or bad change and was it worth it? Please leave your responses in the comments section below.

Memories is something kids will remember for the rest of their lives. It doesn’t matter if it is a good or bad memory, they will remember it.

As a father of four children, I have many opportunities to make last memories with my children. This is important in many ways. One of the ways is that it is a way that they can remember you as a parent and a friend to them. this is something they could share with their children in the future.

Another way this is important you have memories is it will help your children teach your grandchildren. One things we do in our house is have dinner together as a family and we wait for everyone to get their food before we start eating. I hope my kids will teach their kids the same thing from our experience.

As a parent memories will be something we can remember before we get to a time in our life that we can’t do that certain activities anymore. So it is good to make and keep memories with your children.

 

What is your favorite memory of an activity you did with your child(ren)? Leave your answers and comments below.

Love (A to Z Challenge)

Love is a very powerful word in the mind and eyes of a child.  They are always looking for it from their parents.  It is also the word the bible talks about a lot.

I always find time to tell my kids that I love them.  IT could be in the morning or at bedtime.  I sometimes tell them when they are feeling down.  It is a good way to put a smile on your child’s face.  This also works for your spouses as well.

You will also need to show it as well as say it to your kids.  Reading to your kids at bedtime or making it a special occasion to go out to a movie with each of your kids.  There is several ways to show how much you love them.  You could easily go fishing with your kids.  Showing love doesn’t mean spending a lot of money on them.

How do you show your kids that you love them?  If you have no kids then your spouse?  Please leave your comments below.

Randomactofkindness

This is a very powerful word and reaction that I have been teaching my kids from day one. I teach my kids that kindness does go a long way in life as well as it is the way I was raised.

Kindness is a word and emotion that some people take advantage of and others just take for granite. The bible also tells us to be kind to other and treat each other with kindness and respect. Kindness most of the time can turn a person that is in a bad mood into a good mood.

My kids practice this all of the time. Kindness also leads to them helping others and random acts of kindness. My face always has a smile on it when they do something for another person or kid out of kindness of their heart. I gives me a feeling that I have taught my kids well and to look at others with respect.

Sometimes my kids remind me of be kind and to have kindness when I’m having a bad day.

What is the last memory of your kids or yourself showing kindness to another person? What was the kind act about? Leave a message below in the comments.
