Do something your children want to do.
Over the school holidays one of my children designed a gym workout for us to do. It was an unusual thing for a child to want to do for fun and as an adult who is not a fitness guru there was a part of me that was groaning at the thought.
He'd put some effort into his regime and I didn't want to let him down by being a party pooper so every couple of days I forced myself to go through the workout with him. It was actually fun and the exercises he'd put together were not hard. It was just a matter of me getting off my backside and participating in some physical activity with my child.
Sometimes the child/ren will want to do an activity you're not fond of and you can say no, and yet, you could regret that later on. As in, you'll think back to that time when your child wanted to spend that time with you and you said no, and didn't spend that time together doing that activity they wanted to do... and now you feel regret.
It is better to do the activity rather than having regret for not spending that time doing that activity with your child.
Don't you agree?
What activities have your children wanted to do that you've participated in?
