Do you remember the classic song, “Let’s Go Fly a Kite”, from the movie “Mary Poppins”? In the timeless movie, the family dances around the house and skips down the street, singing the jolly tune as they embark on their little adventure. The scene captures the beauty of engaging in even the simplest of activities as a family. The air is lighthearted and carefree. Even the parents are impacted. I love how the scene also teaches the great significance of parents interacting and playing with their children. You can setup the circumstances around their lives to provide them with opportunity and education, but without the time of interfacing with their parents, those opportunities are meaningless.
So set aside some time this week to be active as a family. Laugh. Play. Dance. Let’s go fly a kite.
