Good morning!<\/p>\n

I hope you all had the opportunity to spend some quality time with your families this Family Day.<\/p>\n

Do you know that the family traditions we create with our family have a lifelong impact on our children’s life?<\/p>\n

The family traditions help each family to better bond and form a unique family unit as it strengthens the connection between it’s members. Our children gain strength and security and build their self-identify through the warm and intimate atmosphere of family traditions.<\/p>\n

In my house we like to play board games with the kids and look at Family Photo albums.\"\"<\/p>\n

What family traditions do you practice at your house?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Here are some ways you can use family photos to encourage storytelling.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Flip through pictures with your child and take turns telling stories about what you see. It’s OK if they want to tell the same one over and over.<\/li>\n
  2. Print out some pictures from a fun occasion — like a birthday party, family vacation, or holiday — and ask your child to put them in order of events.<\/li>\n
  3. Print out or show your child a picture of an event from your childhood or life before she was born, and ask her to make up a story using clues in the picture.<\/li>\n
  4. Tell a life story in 10 pictures or less. Print out a number of pictures and have your child pick 10 or fewer to put in chronological order to tell the story of his life. Include all the major milestones and some fun little details too. It’s always fascinating to see what events kids choose to include. More than once, a birth of a sibling has been completely ignored! After putting the life story together, have your child tell you the story picture by picture.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
