Is it worth it to have rituals with your kids? For example, every Friday Morning I get to take a kid out for breakfast or we know a family that Friday night is Pizza and movie night.
YES!
Kids love the predictable. They love the mundane.
And, it can be life-changing for them!
By simply making Saturday morning “doughnut morning,” or having “popcorn and game night” every Friday you are pouring lots of good into your family.
- Your kids will feel more secure
- They will feel a closeness to you
- You show your kids that you are available to them
And, in the long-term, they will want to be around you!
There is NO investment in the future like investing in your relationship with your kids today!
