Healthy To Compromise
If you are a parent, finding a hobby to do with your child can be very hard, and it can be even harder for a child to find something they like to do with their parent. With some parent-child couples, this comes easy. For instance, my father and I both love the Utah Jazz so we go to games together. Another friend of mine goes hunting with his dad about once a month. Sometimes, it is just hard to find common ground though, especially if you are a dad trying to find something to do with your daughter, or vice versa.
I have a few ideas that parents and children who cannot find common ground can do. Usually parents and children have to compromise in order to have a long lasting relationship. I know of one family who will flip a coin to determine who gets to choose the movie, and let’s say the son wins the toss and gets to choose, then the mom still can veto one of his movie choices. Instead of doing either one person’s activity or another, one family simply does both. Each write down something fun they want to do, and they try to get to both each week. It essentially comes to compromising.
