With this being a very crazy time in most of our schedules one thing that I enjoy is our one night a week that is strictly for the family. We plan an easy dinner that is mainly finger food, along with a yummy sweet snack made by my daughter. Very little clean up is the main thought here so we can relax and not worry about the big clean up mess in the kitchen. Before hand we have also picked out a movie or two for the entire family to sit together and watch.

Enjoying the closeness of just being together, commenting on the plot of the movie and of course the characters. choosing a movie that is suitable for all ages is important as the youngest is 9. Watching something that will teach him something during the movie is always considered. Enjoying his critical views at the end at why the characters did what is always another high point in listening to him during and after the movie.

Sharing a family movie night or even a game night is always a good way to open the doors of communication. Building a stronger unity amongst your family
