How many articles have you read lately regarding family
breakups, dual-income parents lack of support at home for the
children, child neglect, and a host of many other negative
circumstances shaping our lives?
Is your job controlling the most important aspects of your life?
How much time do you spend with your family in a relaxed and
uplifting atmosphere? These are all questions that are very real
in today's society.
If we work hard for our families why not find ways to enjoy
them? There are two major forces that contribute to successful
happiness in families.
First and foremost is religion. The second major force is family
activities and specifically, outdoor sports activities.
Our forefathers had ways to keep the family together by
utilizing work around the home. The major portion of our society
has never seen or experienced their family working together. A
great option is becoming involved in outdoor sports and other
family building activities.
Getting your family involved in outdoor sports can be as simple
as going to the park with a baseball bat and baseball. How about
a kickball or soccer ball? Or, play a few hoops with the
basketball.
Simplify outdoor sports games to meet the ages of all family
members and get to know each other. If you only have one child
or you are a single parent, there are many options for outdoor
sports activities.
* Badminton * Croquet * Pogo Sticks * Bocce * Play Parachutes *
Jump Ropes * Table Tennis * Volleyball * Bean Bag Games * Flying
Discs
These are simple outdoor
sports activities that allow all members of the family from
the little ones to grandpa to participate.
Outdoor sports can relate to many activities. You may want to
consider climbing a mountain together, lake activities,
professional sports, hunting, biking, running/walking together
and the list goes on.
Many parents find ways to assist their children with exercise or
skills building. This could include balance beams, ballet bars,
boxing equipment, agility gear, track and field equipment,
street hockey, weight lifting, archery, shooting and tennis, for
a few suggestions. Include both indoor and outdoor sports
activities.
Our families being together is generally a short period of time
but what you do during that time may reflect on your family
beyond your child's elementary years. Outdoor sports will not be
the total answer but they can be the opportunity to build a long
lasting relationship with those you love. Take the time and make
it happen. It's important!
