Day 1

My family wants to spend more time together, but no one can agree on the kinds of activities we do. First, to analyze this problem, each of us made a list of the kinds of things that we like to do. Then, we compared lists. Whichever activities came up most, were the ones we decided to take part in! If there were disagreements, we made compromises. If my dad wanted to go fishing, but I wanted to go shopping, one day we would all go fishing, and one day we would all go shopping. After that, we wrote down our schedules, and worked in a time that would work for everyone in the family to participate in family time. By doing these steps, we learned more about what everyone in the family likes to do, and we made choices and compromises so that our family could spend more time together.
