How To Become a More Playful Mom
How To Become a More Playful Mom
are you a funny mom
How would your children describe you now?
Some days I'm a little scared of knowing. Hmmm. Are you tired? Emphasize? Oh I have a market. But is it fun?
As a mom, there are a million things to do. So we don't even relax when we sit. It makes it really hard to remember to step back and be cool with them.
However, I want to be a fun mom. In fact, it's part of my mother's mantra, or a daily goal if you will.
"Current, funny, relaxed"
Today we are going to focus on the gaming part…
Having fun means I take the time to fool around with them. I show them I love them by getting down to their level and having fun.
Because one day my children will grow up.
And the chance to play will be gone. Those cute, rolling giggles will be a thing of the past. I will also have many opportunities to create childhood memories.
But you ask, "How can you have more fun?" might think.
First, two rules of the game...
Before we get to the fun activities for moms, let's clear up a few important things!
1. Choose something you like
Above all, avoid activities that YOU don't like. It sounds obvious right? But we mothers are capable of self-sacrifice.
In this case, it does more harm than good.
If you try to play something you can't stand yourself, you're just wasting your time with your little ones. Trust me, hours of lego play doesn't make me the fun mom I want to be.
So check out the list and only do the actions that make you smile.
2. Do more than plan
In addition, the activity should involve you in it. No excuses!
I often fall into the trap of planning something fun and then not participating. Walking to do the laundry DOES NOT COUNT, even if you've built a great obstacle course.
Now…
1. Have a tickle fight
2. Bike tour
When I first went cycling with my kids, my son had a first aid kit with him in case he had an accident. Apparently moms have fun and get hurt.
3. Games in the park
Whenever you go to an empty playground, you start to cover or hide with your children. Practice a little and show your children that you can let off steam.
4. Color sides with chalk
Trace your child's body and draw the road and the city he rides his bike.
5. Have a Nerf Gun / Water Gun War
A water gun fight shows your fun-loving personality
Water gun fights are on everyone's summer bucket list. Get a little competitive and get your family involved. Or stay inside, turn off the lights and start shooting bullets.
6. Host a dance party
Then spontaneous dancing is a great way to get rid of the movement before bed. Freeze Dance is our favorite dance.
7. Leave a note under your pillow
My daughter leaves tons of stuff under my pillow. To be honest, I always sleep with a piece of paper under my head.
It takes 2 minutes, she feels loved when she gets them back, so I try to answer if possible.
