Take Time For Family

Some families find themselves so busy during the school year that week after week goes by and they can't even remember really spending any quality time together.  Some of my clients have found it helpful to schedule in a night out of the week as "family night".  This could be a Friday night or if possible, even a weekday night.  On this night, families identify something they will do together as a family that is somewhat different than their typical routine.  Maybe a  "make your own pizza night" or some other special cooking night where all family members pitch in and cook as a team.  Maybe a game night or a night where there is a TV show on that everyone enjoys.  An hour or two weekly doing something special as a family can help keep everyone connected and can also help create a special tradition that your teens will always remember.
