We are all sad to think that we only have 2 weeks left of Strengthening Families. This week was one of the best. It started with a word search and then because dinner was late we had several games of connect 4. MAC is killer at it and very rarely loses.
She has such a fun time it was hard to make her put everything up for dinner. Tonight was spaghetti and salad with fresh bread sticks. I just love the greek salads, the dressing is yummy and I got lots of peppercini's tonight.
The lesson was about punishment. Corporal punishment should only be used as an absolute last resort. There was a lot of group discussion and we were split about 50/50 about spanking and whether it is effective.
The final family program was a role reversal. The parent becomes the teenager and the child becomes the parent. They are given a scenario and have to make up a skit. For the first time ever MAC actually volunteered herself to do a skit. She chose Hubby to do the skit with her. They got the teen wanting their friends to be able to come over and spend the night. The parent doesn't want them to because they are planning on going to a flea market early the next morning. Hubby got MAC to change her mind. There was laughter all around the room as three other families did skits as well.
