Show Notes:

What is Famiy Fed?

Just like busy parents use meal planners to help make healthy dinner a success, Family F.E.D. gives you daily “recipe” plans for fun that make quality family time easy. While physical meals help you feed the individuals in your family, Family F.E.D. helps you create the #FunMeal that feeds your FAMILY UNIT as a whole. It’s a simple, new approach that revolutionizes how easy it is to create QUALITY FAMILY TIME each day.

Here are the categories Brittany covers with her family fun:

Connection:

Strengthening

what are you goals?

do a balance activity -like juggling -then talk to them about what is hard about balancing. Then you relate it to real life, with just a minute or two to tie it together. Simple is best. Go in with a purpose

She also gives conversation starters for the end of the game

Family History

study family stories

record family stories

frozen charades

what memories are standing out the most

Service

less about the activity and more about focusing out

Service Ideas for Lifting Cheer during the Coronavirus

Send a Digital Floral Bouquet: Simple Service Idea

Fostering Growth

Learning new skills

home carpentry skills

arts and crafts: paintings, pictionary, photography, different art techniques, using nature in your art (like Patty Rokus: Helping of Happiness Podcast with Patti Rokus), sewing (Helping of Happiness: How to make reusable cloth napkins), candy art

when you are doing your art or project, don’t worry about the end result. Instead think: How does it make me feel? Did I enjoy the process of creating?

Emoji Emotions game

the goal on this game is giving kids a safe place to talk about things

learn about them on a deeper level- WHY are they feeling that feeling

power in naming our emotions

Making Lasting Memories

Traditional Memories: things that are happening regularly like her front porch games with her nephews, dance parties- letting the silliness go, sharing successes at dinner

Unusual Memories: what would you not normally do? Tweak it in a simple way. Ideas: eating dinner without utensils, having dinner as a picnic, playing Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza

Level-Up Boredom Busters

Board Bounce game
