I'm an Educational Consultant with Discovery Toys, and something was mentioned at a meeting I attended that has done wonders for me! It's called "D.E.A.R. Time", which means: Drop Everything And Read! When the kids are wound up and out of control...grab a book and read! It does wonders!
We have also started having family game night on Fridays. I have 3 kids, so each Friday a different child gets to pick the game and their favorite meal!
With my kids now 5, 7, and 12, time is flying by! Take the time to enjoy your kids!
