Build Stronger Bonds Writing Family Bucket Lists

Course details

Are you the parent who is always playing "bad cop" to your spouse's "good cop"? You worry that all the disciplining is keeping you from building a close relationship with your kids.

Or maybe you're the fun parent - the one who horses around while the other parent gets things done. And while all the laughter is great, you wish your children would also see you as someone they could talk to about serious topics.

Or perhaps you had close connections with your children when they were younger, but as they grow, you find it harder to get past conversations about homework or chores. You'd love to find a way to connect with them on a more meaningful level.

Well, you can connect with your kids - whatever age they are - and build stronger bonds in ways that fit naturally with your busy family life. Using bucket lists as the backdrop.

In this course I cover:

• Methods for talking bucket list goals with your kids in age-appropriate, engaging manners
• Ways to encourage collaboration writing shared bucket lists between family members
• How to create a fun family night around bucket lists
• Practical steps for integrating bucket list experiences and traditions into your family life
