If you’re looking for some fun ways to recharge your family’s battery in the New Year, why not try to “MOTOR” your way to a healthier 2020?
Move More.
The family that is active together stays healthy. Take a family walk around the block. Throw the Frisbee in the front yard. Start a neighborhood game of basketball. Anything that gets your family’s blood pumping will help keep you in better shape.
Organize a Family Breakfast or Dinner.
Research shows that children who eat at least one home-cooked meal a day with their families are more socially, academically, and physically well adjusted.
Talk at the Table — Best & Stressed.
When you’re at the family breakfast or dinner, each person at the table must share their “best” and “stressed” part of the upcoming or past day. They must explain why that part of their day will or was “best” or “stressed.” Other family members can ask follow-up question after each person shares.
Opt Out of Screens.
Screen time lowers preschoolers’ attention spans making them less able to focus and more anxious. Because young minds are still developing, it’s better not to use technology to engage your child. Instead, go for more “hands-on” activities. Color with crayons, play with action figures, pretend by dressing up in costumes, or enjoy a board game.
Read As a Family.
Children whose families read to them have much broader language skills than kids whose loved ones do not read to them. The more words a preschooler hears and adopts, the greater their reading and writing skills will be as they grow. Enjoy reading stories together. Families who read together will learn to love all the new places every new author takes them.
