Family Fun!
Contributing to family life builds self-esteem in everyone and families need to have fun! Here is an idea:
Family Fun!
Being part of a family is part of your child’s identity. Families come in all shapes and sizes and every family is different. Help your child to understand and appreciate this through talking together. Celebrate the uniqueness of your own family and remember that all families have ups and downs.
Families work together and help each other. Having fun together is also really important and sometimes we all need to remind each other that we can do this when life is generally very busy!
Why not plan a family activity? It can be anything at all – small or big! Talk together about what you could do. Cook a meal together, have a picnic, go out for the day, watch something together, make something together….etc.
Help your child to be part of the planning and preparation. This is great for their self-esteem. Helping others also has a positive impact on wellbeing, so getting your child to do some of the work will be helping them with this too!
