EDITOR

NOTE

FROM THE EDITOR Happy Birthday America! My favorite holiday of the year is July 4th. I know the 4th has come and gone, but I like to celebrate America’s birthday all month long. Now that we are in the heat of summer, I hope you and your family are finding fun things to do while escaping the heat.

In this month’s The Grand Season’s Family, you will find several article to help you plan Summer fun with your family.

There’s also a great article on enhancing your marriage, and another sharing about the 5 things your children need to succeed.

While I know the heat can be suffocating, I hope you and

your family can still enjoy time together, whether it’s cooling off at a movie, or heading to Northern Arizona to enjoy the scent of the mountains.

Also, I would greatly appreciate if you would share your copy of The Grand Season Family with your favorite businesses, and service professionals. We are always trying to reach new advertising partners. Thank you for your consideration.

Regardless of your plans, I hope you have a fantastic July.

• Going old-school may also help you identify chunks for free time you can use to accomplish personal needs while heading to an area that is not on your normal weekend route.

• Tracking life in one place (off of your digital device) can also help prevent committing to things you can’t do well.

Start the new year with a flare. Find yourself a favorite pen and cool planner, and get back to the basics. It may have been a little while since you relied on paper, but you may find that writing things down motivates you keep better track of all of life’s little details.

KIDS

A

FIVE THINGS Kids need to succeed

sk parents what they want most for their children and they’ll answer the same: Happiness. But if we hover and coddle and grant their every wish, they grow up to expect that treatment from the rest of the world and are going to be seriously unhappy when they realize that’s not how things work. And if we exert too much control while instilling traditional discipline and a strong work ethic, says a new British study, we could scar them emotionally for life.

So how do we raise happy children? “The science of positive psychology has shown us that happiness comes from experiencing lots of different positive emotions: gratitude, appreciation, optimism and confidence about the future, joy and contentment in the present,” says Christine Carter, Ph.D. Get started today—no matter what age your children are—cultivating the following five character traits that happy children share. (Not surprisingly—they’re also found in fulfilled adults!)

HAPPY KIDS:

ARE PLAYFUL

ARE CONFIDENT

ARE CONNECTED

ARE GRATEFUL

“There’s so much pressure to sign kids up for loads of activities today, but not enough free time negatively impacts a child’s happiness in two ways,” explains author Katie Hurley. First, if kids are constantly doing structured activities, they are not spending time with you. Different children can handle different degrees of busyness, but a good rule of thumb is one sport, and maybe one other activity per season.

Secondly, overscheduled kids don’t get time to just play, which provides a wealth of benefits that contributes to happiness: Play develops imagination and creativity, builds social skills and teaches problem-solving.

“The most important thing parents can give a child is a life that’s full of positive points of connection—at home, at school, on teams, at church and in your community,” says Dr. Ned Hallowell, a Harvard psychiatrist.

“And those positive connections occur when you enjoy your kids and have fun together. Set up family traditions and celebrations. Use physical touch: Snuggle, kiss, wrestle.”

10

The Grand Season family

Few feelings in life are as thrilling as that moment when a child realizes, “I can do it!” The sense of security that comes with deep connections, along with the skills your child builds through play, leads to the confidence to try new things. And confident children are optimistic children.

“When problems arise, as they do for all of us, the confident, optimistic child tackles them with the certainty that they are solvable and continues to try again, rather than give up,” Ned explains. Christine seconds that: “Optimism is so closely related to happiness.”

THINK POSITIVELY

Teaching kids to have a glass-half-full attitude when something negative occurs in their lives is essential to their happiness, and building all the other skills we’ve discussed so far puts them on this positive track. “Understanding what triggers all types of feelings helps children work through the negative so they get to a positive viewpoint,” Katie notes. To make this happen, parents need to be “emotion coaches,” Christine emphasizes. According to research, children who can manage their emotions experience negative feelings for shorter periods of time.

Of course you’ve been teaching your children to say “Please” and “Thank you” since they began to talk. Now a bevy of research connects a deeper understanding and attitude of gratitude with true happiness and life satisfaction.

As you model generosity, and your child gets to observe the gratitude that someone feels from it—this feeling will help him realize how much he has to be grateful for.

MONEY

THE TRUTH

Family finances and your kids

Communication is a very important aspect of all family relationships, and all children deserve the whole truth—just not all the time. Especially when it comes to discussing the delicate issue of family finances.

DON’T tell young kids how much you earn.

Whether your family is more than comfortable or living check to check, salary is something to keep to yourself.

Young kids don’t have the context to make sense of sums—and in revealing numbers you run the risk of becoming the talk of the playground.

DO help kids understand that not all families have the same amount of financial resources.

Some kids reach this conclusion early on, when they see a difference between their toys and their friends’.

DON’T tell kids how much you pay the sitter.

Nothing undermines the authority of a caregiver like putting a price on his or her services.

DON’T gossip in front of your kids about other people’s money habits.

If you need to vent about a greedy uncle or your neighbors too-big mortgage, do it quietly and far from your children’s ears.

18

The Grand Season family

July 2017

DO share examples of sound money judgment.

For example, talk about that time your friends decided to spend all of their Christmas money helping families in need.

DON’T tell your kids you have no money to get out of buying something.

A little lie may seem harmless, but if you end up swiping your card a few minutes later, your kids will wonder if they can trust you.

DON’T tell your kids how much you worry about paying for college.

Tweens and teens might read your anxiety as a message that higher education is a terrible burden.

DO talk calmly about college costs early on.

When your child hits high school, bring up the subject.

If you already know your financial parameters, share them. You also might start talking about how you want your kids to participate in sharing their portion of the college load. But only do this if you can remain calm during the conversation. www.grandseasonfamily.com

BOX OFFICE

MOVIES YOU NEED TO SEE Check out these happy movies

Movies are the great escape. They take us to places we’ve never been and will likely never go. They let us enjoy heartracing excitement without ever leaving our chairs and can even inspire us to try new things. (Seriously, who hasn’t thought about building a time-traveling DeLorean after watching Back to the Future?)

Of course, not all movies are created equal—some are designed to make us think, some to make us cry, some to make us terrified of ever taking a shower again.

Yet others make us want to get up on a table and dance! Or hug the person in the theater next to us with happy tears in our eyes as the closing credits roll.

They capture the magic of childhood or the ineffable moment of falling in love.

They bring us beauty, music (literal or figurative), emotion—stardust.

Little Miss Sunshine Anyone who has taken a family road trip knows how quickly tensions rise.

Rarely is conflict as funny or heartwarming as in this dysfunctional family quest set on the way to a beauty pageant. As the journey unfolds, the familial quirkiness becomes endearing and, ultimately, we’re reminded of the true meaning of family and the joy of living life on your own terms.

Good Will Hunting Who knew that a movie about a guy doing math problems could turn into such a beloved classic? This movie resonates for many reasons, from its stellar cast (Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Robin Williams) and snappy dialog to the unmistakable message about being true to yourself and following the path that’s right for you.

Forrest Gump Watching this movie (again) makes life feel like a celebration, regardless of which underlying theme you choose to focus on: the value of love and friendship; the importance of letting your passions guide you; or the beauty of a good heart and good intentions. It’s a great reminder that we don’t have to “be” better to “do” better in life.

Despicable Me The battle of good vs. evil has been going on since the beginning of time, but rarely does it play out with such entertaining characters. This animated film plays it for laughs but still manages to send the very clear message that anyone—even a Super Villain— can have a change of heart, and that we can find love in the most unpredictable ways at the most unexpected times. Plus, who doesn’t love a minion?

The Sound of Music Even without all those great songs that will stick in your head for days, this musical is timeless. Featuring a glowing Julie Andrews at her peak, it reminds us of the different kinds of love we have in our lives (parental, romantic...) and reinforces the importance of family.

It also admonishes us to follow our hearts and climb every mountain, regardless of how imposing they seem.

With that in mind, here’s a look at 10 of the happiest movies ever made.

It’s a Wonderful Life Another holiday classic that is worth watching at any time of the year, It’s a Wonderful Life never seems to get old. George Bailey (Jimmy Stewart) takes us along for an eye-opening ride into the power of love and family, the importance of friendship and social support and, for added moral measure, how destructive greed can be.

Singin’ in the Rain Some 65 years after it was made, this film remains a Technicolor, fun-filled musical romp. While it is, ostensibly, a movie about trying to get a movie made, it’s primarily an excuse to enjoy some singing, electric dancing and, naturally, a bit of romancing between Gene Kelly and adorable sprite Debbie Reynolds. When a film is this happy and lighthearted, you can’t help but feel the same.

9 to 5 Feeling bummed out at work? Boss got you down? All you need is a good dose of this movie (and maybe a day off). From the upbeat theme song that has become an anthem for the workweek blues to the implausible but empowering plotline, 9 to 5 can’t help but put a smile on your face. And hidden under it all are some great reminders about resilience, feminism and the power of dreams in action. The chemistry of friendship between seemingly mismatched stars—veteran actress Jane Fonda, comedian Lily Tomlin and country singer Dolly Parton—comes right through the screen.

Inside Out All of us are guided by our emotions, but never has that been so clearly illustrated as in this charming animated movie. Although it’s disguised as a film for children, this Pixar project resonates with adults who get an unmistakable reminder that the loss and sadness we experience in our lives deepen our appreciation for the joy we will eventually feel again.

AAA SENIOR PLACEMENT AZ A Message from Sue Royer “I was born and raised in inner city Chicago, the sixth of eighteen children with fifteen brothers. Being the oldest daughter, I was always a caregiver which I believe influenced me to pursue work in the healthcare industry. Today, I have three daughters and five grandchildren.

Years ago, I volunteered for hospice and knew immediately that helping seniors was my calling. I was soon employed by hospice but I felt something was missing. I realized it was the limited time I was able to spend with my clients. Having my own business allows me to provide the intimate hands on service needed in our community. I am committed to our seniors throughout their lives and I thank the community for the opportunity to serve.”

LOVE

RELATIONSHIP KEYS 7 things you need to know

Happiness within a relationship is hard to define. Not only is each relationship different, but within each relationship, each person defines happiness in an individual way. Some people view happiness as a peaceful conflict-free life. For some, happiness involves a tremendous amount of fun, great intimacy or lots of laughter.

Whatever your definition, it directly correlates to your expectations, desires, wants and needs—and those things can change over time.

What holds constant are 7 specific behaviors and attributes laid out below that can almost guarantee the likelihood of long-term success and happiness in a relationship. If you work toward incorporating

— RESPECT —

— PRIORITY —

Every successful relationship is built on a foundation of respect. Respect means caring about your partner’s wants and needs and always taking them into account before speaking or acting. The expectation is that your partner will follow the same guidelines.

If you want to build a stronger positive relationship, let your partner know that he or she is a priority. Commit time and energy to talking and addressing each other’s wants and needs. Be sure that the two of you have “quality time” alone to connect and enjoy each other’s company.

— LOYALTY —

— PICK YOUR BATTLES —

We feel happy when we know that someone has our backs. Relationships have the greatest success when each partner focuses on supporting one another at all times. This means that if someone is antagonizing your partner, you will either back your partner up directly or support him or her from behind the scenes.

32

these keys into your daily life, you will experience greater joy and less conflict in your primary relationships.

The Grand Season family

July 2017

Strong and happy couples know when to bring up issues and when to put them aside. If you can let something go, move on and still enjoy your partner and let it go!

If you cannot move on, then bring it up.

Never bring something upsetting up in bed, and never in earshot of children or other family or friends.

— LOVING GESTURES —

The concept that “actions speak louder than words” is an important one when it comes to relationships. It is not enough to simply feel that you love someone, you must also show that you love that person. Use kind words, be physically affectionate, leave little love notes around the house. Whether it’s a verbal gesture or a material one, make sure to let your partner know that you love him or her.

— PUT IN THE WORK—

Partners in a successful relationship understand that you need to put in the work to keep things running smoothly. That means sometimes you need to do things that you do not want to do because it matters to your partner.

— FOCUS ON THE POSITIVES —

Even the best of relationships have challenges and even the most wonderful of partners can have less-than-stellar moments. When times are tough, those who are seeking a happy relationship will combat the negative with a positive.

Reverse your thinking to remind yourself that your mate has great qualities and that you are happy to be together.

RISE & SHINE Four fresh takes on breakfast

A great way to start your day is to add breakfast to your morning routine. If you find your family is in a breakfast rut, it may be time to switch things up and add some excitement to those early hours.

Here are a few new ideas to brighten up everyone’s morning:

Get the whole family to cook

Getting everyone in the family to help out in the kitchen is easy, especially on weekends, and they’ll love feeling more involved.

The next time you make breakfast, ask your kids to help you.

Set up a pancake bar

Make a weekend breakfast extra special by setting up a short-order pancake station in your kitchen. Offer different flavors of pancake mix, set out chocolate chips, sliced fruit or any other ingredients to create special pancakes that appeal to your family. Don’t forget to top each pancake with a pat of butter or a dollop of whipped cream and, of course, warm syrup.

(Make a few extras and freeze for the week ahead.)

Host a breakfast lottery

Do your kids complain about having to eat the same thing every day?

Surprise them with a special breakfast lottery. Have ingredients on hand for several breakfast entrees, like pancakes, waffles, or crepes. Put the names of each breakfast item in a hat and make whichever one you draw. This makes for an entertaining and suspenseful breakfast.

Try mini pancake kabobs

When it comes to breakfast kabobs, the possibilities are endless. Mini pancake kabobs are a lively twist on a classic breakfast. All you need is pancake mix, syrup, kabob skewers and your favorite pancake toppings.

Cook small, cookie-sized pancakes on a griddle. Then, stack them on skewers with toppings like fruit and peanut butter. Top each kabob off with a drizzle of warm syrup.
