Tips for Parents
Family history is something you create every day. The best way to do family history and connect with your family is the way you live day to day. As you try these activities focus on these concepts:
Seek Inspiration
As you prayerfully review these ideas, you will know which activities will best help your family and how to adapt them for your family’s needs.
Be Real
Be authentic and personal about your own history and your family’s heritage. Your children can learn as much from your mistakes as they can from your successes.
Stick Together
Families that get the most out of these activities do them together. Parental involvement enhances the experience.
Keep It Short
An activity less than 15 minutes works well for many families. Start with one idea from one card.
Be Spontaneous
Family history doesn’t have to be a big, planned event. Simply start an activity or have a conversation.
