Other ways you can be an active parent throughout the holiday season is to take a day you have off, make Christmas cookies with the children, and just have some holiday family fun. If your not a great baker maybe ice skating, skiing, sledding or building a snowman is more your thing to do with your children on your day off. It does not matter what you do on your day off with your children, but it does matter that you spend as much time with them as you can doing something you all enjoy doing as a family.

I know my family always enjoyed making donuts on Sunday mornings throughout the holiday seasons. Making donuts and hot chocolate and having breakfast together as a family in them, morning with our grandparents was one of my best memories. We would laugh, tell stories about our weekly activities, and make new memories together. It was a time we all looked forward to at the end of the week.

Now I am not saying you have to make donuts and spend Sunday mornings together, but picking a time a few times a week with the family is the best way to be an active parent throughout the busy holiday seasons.

Some of the things you can do to make dinners family friendly and fun is put themes to them with the children. Ask your children if they want a Mexican, Chinese, Italian, or an American Themed Meal. Cook with your children and allow them to see how the food is being made and chat about cooking skills and tips and tricks to make food taste healthier and better. Talk to your children about healthy foods and not so healthy foods. This is an excellent way to get active in your children’s lives.

When you go to sit down for a meal with your children don’t always sit at the dinner table. Instead make it fun. Maybe decide to have picnic in the living room instead on a blanket, or inside a tent. Maybe add candles to the table for a candle light family dinner. When you make dinnertime fun children want to continue spending that time with you. Heck maybe even set up little TV tables and watch a movie together while you eat finger foods. However, make sure you ask your children how their days are going and how they are doing while getting things ready.

There are so many ways to become an active parent at dinnertime, but you just need to find the best active ways that work for your family. Remember being active in your children’s lives is important and can help you stay bonded with your children.
