Family Basics: Be Available NOW

I'm into the basics....turn off the TV and sit down and spend time together!

Talk, play games, go for a walk in the countryside (easy for me as that's where I live) or at the park etc.

If someone in the family really needs your time, put down whatever it is you are doing and give them the time NOW! as you may not get the opportunity again if the moment is lost...

...housework, cooking, work or whatever is not as important as time spent to build a relationship....

Really aren't you working, cooking, cleaning etc for the family anyway, because they are important?

So remember the giving of time shows them HOW important...it's not how clean the house is!!!
