What makes a family special?

There are a lot of things that make a family special and if you ask parents they will site their children, and togetherness, and love and laughter.  What about kids? What do they think about family?

I asked each of mine! Kid #1 is 8 years old and Kid #2 is 6.  They both had simple, yet meaningful answers to 3 questions that I asked them about family.

What do you think makes a family special?

Kid #1: “They care about you and you care about them.”

Kid #2: “You love your family, and you take care of each other when hurt or sick.”

What’s your favourite thing to do as a family?

Kid #1: “Snuggling!”

Kid #2: We Play

What’s the best part of being in our family?

Kid #1: We get to go on vacay together!  And yes, we do travel together quite a bit! 😉

Kid #2: Getting to play together.

I kind of love these answers.

Netflix brings our family together a lot, thanks for their shows and movies. We are a pop-that-popcorn and cuddle on the couch movie-watching family. (Turns out, based on Kid #1’s answer about snuggling, this is a good choice!)

Looking for a new weekend movie to watch that’s all about family? We LOVED Mr. Peabody & Sherman. Not only does it drive home how each family is different, and special, but it’s funny, has a bit of history thrown in (and this family loves history!) and has a bunch of laughs.

Enjoy!
