Life is too short to focus on other things aside from your family. Before you know it, your kids have grown so much while you have been busy with your daily life.
This year alone has taught me many things and one of them is that family matters most.
Now I choose to focus more on my family. Once I clock out from work, be it at the office or at home (WFH), it automatically becomes our family time and nothing else matters.
I can see the differences it has made to my kids. They are now having more conversations with us, parents, instead of spending most of their time with their gadgets and they are having more fun than ever! But the most important thing is that my house now feels more like a home.
Here are my main three tips for raising a happy family:
1. More time for play and learning
There is more than one way to help your kids develop to their full potential, which is by learning and the other is by playing. Give your kids the chance to indulge themselves in messy play activities.
Set up a simple play zone, prepare some kinetic sand, cooking or baking ingredients, or other things for them to experiment and play with. Not only will they get to play and learn, but you might just be surprised by how much talent they will develop along the way.
2. Plan an adventure together!
Since we did not get to go on vacations or travel much this year, we came up with a bucket list of things that we want to do next year.
From a simple weekend at the museum to hotel stays and fun-filled activities, we prepared two jars of outing ideas written on cards. We categorised each jar into ‘simple weekend activities’ and ‘special vacation’.
Every weekend, we draw a card from one of the jars and now all that is left is to wait for the moment when we can travel freely once more!
3. A sweet surprise a day creates memories that last all the way
By creating wonderful moments of unexpected joy for your kids, they will end up with treasured memories that will last a lifetime. It does not have to be a big present or grand gesture. It could be something as simple as joining in their favourite activities. If they like playing with TikTok, you can join in the fun and create TikTok videos with them.
See, just look at how much fun these kids and their parents have together!
