Create
a happy environment for your kids.
Every
child deserves a healthy and happy environment; parents have the responsibility
to create such environment in their homes where children feel loved, secured
and cared for. Homes were everyone is respected and treated like a celebrity. After
a long day, having your kids and spouse come home to you is what every woman
look forward to.
Environment plays a great role in the
academic growth and development of every child. In fact children who grow in a
healthy and happy home do better in academics.
1.
Fun
homecoming:
The way you
welcome your husband, wife and even kids will determine whether your home is a
happy home or not. Going to the door to greet your husband or even wife when he/she
comes home after a long stressful day should be void of any kind of complain,
problems and sad tales.
Coming home can
be made fun by involving your kids to welcome their dad, “I give a happy yell
in the direction of my kids “Daddy’s home!” I stop what I am doing, walk to the
door and give him a warm welcome.” Kids
love to throw themselves on their dad who makes homecoming exciting and fun.
Avoid any topic
that is mood changing at this point; topics like child academic performance,
accumulated bills or any form of complain. It’s not the time to bring up
serious issues or discipline your children. “Did you hand in that paper that
was late?” You know you left your dirty laundry in your room, you need to go
upstairs right now and take care of that!”
Kids should also
be given a fun homecoming to because this single act will mean a whole lot to
your child. Children need your attention at the end of their day. “A hug, kiss,
a snack and a listening ear, are simple and powerful way to let them know that
they are valued and loved”. Tell your child how glad you are that he/she is
home.

Changeover time:

Give your kids
and spouse little time after the greeting, hugs and kisses to changeover from
work or school to home. We all need time to let out stress, unwind and switch
gears. We want to make it as pleasant as possible.
“I have one
friend whose husband comes home from work and disappears into their bedroom for
5-10 minutes, (with his wife’s support and permission) just to catch his
breath. He is then able to sit down to dinner with his family.”
Give your kids
and spouse time to cool off from every form of daily activities they had. Homework
can be done after little rest and quietness as kids deserves it too.

Laugh:

Laughing is the best
way to shake off stress and any form of anxiety. It’s the best way to also create
a home out of your house, the simple act of laughing can create great bond in
your family.
“We all know that
home is where our heart is. Creating joyful homecomings, giving our loved ones
time to transition, developing healthy relaxation habits and laughter can help
our hearts reside in a happy place.” Watching healthy family movies together,
share funny events that happen within the family and funny things that happened
in their schools. How about the funny thing they did when they were babies?
