题目内容
Special family bonds (纽带) are not created by big ship vacations or buy?ing your child a new toy ,bicycle or expensive clothes. Great families are formed by making time for each other,and by listening and caring. The good news is that it costs nothii g to do these things.
Last weekend my kids and I were sitting outside the front steps of our house enjoying some sunshine after washing the car and playing with the neighbour's kids. As we sat there I had an idea that I thought would be fun. "Anne,Liz,usually on Wednesday you come home from school for lunch. What about having a picnic in the park instead?"I asked. Both Anne and Liz lit up and smiled. "Yeah,Daddy!Then we'd even have more time to play in the schoolyard！"they shouted.
So that's our little plan today for a simple Wednesday. I hope it will be?come one more of a huge collection of special family moments,moments when we make time for each other and do something special together.
A picnic in the park is something that works for us. My kids go to school close to the house and I work for myself in my study. I'm not saying that you should do exactly the same thing. It might not fit into your family's situation. But something will fit,and it's up to you to find out what those things are and do them. Then keep doing them. Find special things that you can do with your kids. Make it a habit. You'll love the results. When your kids are older,they won't remember the iPad you bought them,or the 22nd stuffed animal for their collection. They will remember the time you spent with them.
