Moms & Dads

Being a parent is a tough job and there are often just not enough hours in the day to get everything done!  To help, we have developed a list of suggestions for busy moms and dads to easily celebrate Family Day  in the home. 

9 Easy Ways to Celebrate Family Day at Home
 
1. Print out our Family Day placemat and ask your kids to color while you cook. Suggest drawing their dream house, most wanted pet or a scene from their day!
 
2. Download our Word Games for your kids to play before or after dinner. First one to finish gets to be the first to pick a meal or dessert for the week!
 
3. Over dessert, fill in the Weekly Menu Planner. Make sure everyone gets to pick a meal.
 
4. Having trouble getting your kids to talk at dinner? Check out our Conversation Starters and learn something new about them.
 
5. Sign our STAR Pledge. Print it out and hang it on your fridge as a promise to your family.
 
6. Help out other busy moms! Come see our Facebook Fan Page and share your stories, tips and recipes.

7. Make a special meal for Family Day. For some ideas, check out these recipes.

8. Learn more about how to talk to your kids about substance abuse by reading How to Raise a Drug-Free Kid: The Straight Dope for Parents.

9. Get involved in your community’s Family Day- find events in your area on our website or Facebook. No events near you? Create one. For ideas on how to celebrate with a local group, visit our Get Involved section.
