Family Home Evening - Page 2

We used to have FHE on Sundays the first years of our marriage. But, often it didn't work out for some reason. Then we decided to move it to mondays, and guess what? It became a lot easier and we have had many special moments together as a family since then.

We have a paperwheel we turn clockwise every week so everyone is doing something but not the same every monday. We have divided the wheel into 6 sections: Lead, song, scripture, lesson, activity and refreshments. In this way there is never an argument on who should do what....

We are finding that we're having a difficult time with FHE. We have to hold ours on Tuesday mornings, due to my husband's work schedule, which hasn't been a problem. Our problem lies in that we've got two girls who are 1 1/2 and 3, and We are having trouble figuring out how to adjust the lessons, etc. to their level. If anyone has any advice on how to better facilitate that, it would be much appreciated.

vpkrol, just forget about the typical Family Home Evening with such young kids. Just do a very short lesson (probably 5-7 minutes) sing some nice Primary songs (children at that age learn a lot through music and singing) and of course have some nice treats for the end!

Later in the evening, you and your husband also can have your own Family Home Evening once the kids are asleep. Hope it helps.

The children's Friend has been a great resource for teaching our young kids. I'll often look up a story that relates to whatever principle I'm teaching and that helps to keep the kids attention.

We have started having Family Home Evening on Sunday afternoons after lunch and just before dinner with success. We have found that it is good for us because we can better keep the day focused on spiritual things, plus with the special needs of our son during the week was just too taxing.

We try to have it often, but sometimes one of us is missing. In the beginning to get everyone together is kind of annoying, but by the time we get into the groove of it all you really appreciate the time together.

I have got four boys 1,3,5,8 and getting them together is like herding cats.

My wife and I have determined that we have to focus on one principle and teach (like LDS_Forever said) that in a few minutes.

We start our Family home evening (after a prayer) by talking about what we as a family are going to do that week. We ask each child what is going on in school and what activities they are doing, and it seems to help them remain involved with the rest of the Family home evening.

Last night we turned off all the lights and got some candles and pretended we were camping out. They haven't been that attentive for one of our lessons for years. We did have to stop the one year old from touching the flame.

I guess what I am trying to say is that it is important to have some way to get a child's attention (an activity, pictures, something different every once and awhile)
