Because of the daily school and work schedules of families, spring break is an excellent opportunity to step out of the normal routine and build some memories. Here are a few ideas to get you started. The distractions of electronic devices make it all too easy to tune everyone out. A little usage can actually be healthy as a way to unwind. In the short term, it may seem easy for everyone to zone out with video games, Netflix, social media and iPhone surfing.
Take a hike, go for a swim, ride bikes, throw baseball or play tennis. There are oodles of possible ways to break a sweat and a lot of benefits come from this. Lastly, and most importantly, spend time talking about important things as a family.
You can share about your future goals, your fears, how your friendships are going and about school and work, for instance. This is also the perfect time to discuss your summer plans since it will be here before we know it. If you simply attempt to sit down and talk about more than everyday things, it may feel awkward.
