Give Each Family Member a Job

Give each family member an assignment for family night. Children will be more willing to participate if they feel like they are being included in the planning process rather than being told what they will do. Assignments can include such things as inspirational thought, lesson, treat, activity, etc.

Be Consistent

Set aside one night a week for family night. Make sure itīs the same night every week so that your family wonīt make other plans on that night. Choosing a day at the beginning of the week is often best since there tend to be fewer scheduling conflicts.

Keep It Simple

Many families donīt have family night because they think it has to be more involved than it really needs to be. Keep family night simple. Remember that being together is the most important thing. You donīt have to leave your home or spend a dime to have a successful family night. You can watch a family movie together, play a game, do a craft project, provide service for a neighbor, read a book, go for a walk, etc.

Family Night -- Not Discipline Night

Donīt use family night as a time to bring up your childīs behavior problems or misconduct. For instance, if your child stole something during the week, donīt use family night as a time to teach about the vices of stealing. Itīs likely youīve already discussed this and your child will not want to participate in family nights if he/she thinks it will be a time to bring up his/her faults or mistakes.

Back and Forth Journals

Does the daily hustle and bustle keep you from telling your family all the things you wanted to share with them? Try starting a back and forth journal. Begin by purchasing a small journal or notebook for each family member. Write down all the things you wanted to tell them during the day. Give the journal to the family member and have them respond. Many times people will share thoughts in writing that they wouldnīt in person.
