Serving Your Family

Do you spend more time on your own hobbies and leisure activities than you do with your spouse?

Give your Children your Time: Now, more than ever, children need a strong bond with their parents. Time spent together is what builds that kind of bond. Log your activities for a week. How much time are you really spending with your kids?

Cultivate a Spirit of Service: Point out ways that your children can serve. It might be something as simple as helping a sibling clean their room or offering to read a book to a younger brother or sister. Remind children we can also serve with our words as well as our actions.

Reward Acts of Service: When your children exhibit traits of service or selflessness, praise them for their sacrifice. Encourage them to show service beyond the home by helping neighbors, classmates and friends.
