Families go through changes as children grow older and every one’s schedule is going in opposite directions. A good way to ‘reel-in’ all your family members is to plan a weekend trip, or even better, an extended weekend trip. The weekend getaway is easier on the bank account and it is much easier to get people to commit to three or four days, as opposed to a week or more. On the weekends, many people don’t have to work and even for those that do, it is easier to sneak away for a weekend!

Build Family Strength
These are stressful times for families. Most families face difficult strains on time, money, and emotions. Sometimes homes become the place where everyone is worn-out or angry. But, in spite of these difficulties, there are ways that our families can remain strong and happy.
Researchers have worked on answers to this question for years. This publication discusses six of the most important of these family strengths. It also provides activities that may help build or improve these strengths in your family.
As you read about each of these family strengths, decide where your family is already strong. Then identify one area where you want to be stronger. It is probably not a good idea to work on several areas at once, as the family might get overwhelmed. Work on developing one identified area at a time. In addition to using the exercise in this publication, you might invite family members to suggest ways to build in the area that you are working.
