Yes, family can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be, especially during Thanksgiving! Some tips to enjoying this time together:
1) Reminisce about positive family memories (this always brings out the best in everyone);
2) Express care and concern for kids and health (this is appreciated and a great way to bond over mutual concern for loved ones);
3) Bring old photos (this goes hand in hand with the reminiscing, and who doesn’t love to look at old family photos?);
4) Brainstorm future fun (start a discussion about interesting places you’d each like to visit, and maybe even trips you’d like to take together!).
