Do your kids think you are “just a mom?” That you are around to answer their every need? Maybe it’s time they got to know you as a person!
We all have a story to tell…Bucket of Awesome helps us each tell our own story. There are some amazing prompts to help you ponder your life…past, present, and future…which doubles as a way for your children to really get to know you.
I am always looking for ways to strengthen my relationship with my teens (maybe because I’m always messing up!) I try to help my kids understand that I’m a person too (for example: I can sit down and eat my sandwich before getting up to get someone their third cup of milk!) Kids love to hear stories from their parent’s childhood, it makes them seem more real.
Looking Back…Looking Forward
This book starts with tidbits of when my mom was pregnant with me (great opportunity for me to give her a call and find out the answers!) and goes through my childhood and into adulthood.
I had the opportunity to examine my strengths & weaknesses as well as my hopes & dreams.
What a great way to share my life with my children (it’s a great read on a Sunday morning before church!) and help them get to know me better as a person…and not “just a mom!”
If you are looking for a way to record your personal history or take your journal writing in a new direction…or just need a way to connect better with your kids…get this book!
I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
Looking for some other journals? These could also be some ways to get your teens writing!
Do you want another great way to get to know your children better? Try creating a mom/child notebook to send messages back and forth to each other!
