Now normally this would be bad advice, but if you don’t take it to an extreme it can be very good advice. Encourage your kids to have fun, and have fun with them. Through this you can have a second childhood.

I have chosen for this article to tie together both tip number five and tip number seven. Here are those two tips.

5. The best thing about being a parent is that you get to do all the things you wish you could have done as a kid, & in a way you can heal you own inner child.

7. Laugh & play with your children. Be part of their fun. It will strengthen your bond & it can heal a lot of the grimness & hardness we all accumulate over the years. Your kids can teach you a lot about how to be happy, to reconnect with the child-self within all of us & how to make life special again.

I think they are well said and sum themselves up quite well.

So think about what you have done lately to have fun with your kids? For me and my family we fish and camp. Go to the movies and sometimes just take a walk. Although my oldest doesn’t like to walk for to long.
