Father’s Day: plans to spend the day with your children
Although the father is the protagonist on this special day, it would not be what it is without the fundamental role that children play.
Sometimes children will try to plan Father’s Day for us parents. However, if they are still young or a little clueless, we can take the opportunity to plan the event ourselves . It is better that we think about it and organize it ourselves, than complain that they have not agreed or that they have not planned anything themselves.
Thus, if the children propose a plan to us, we can discuss it together , if we think it should be modified, or happily accept it, since not many children make the effort to plan Father’s Day, but many do. a gift.
If your wife, and / or the mother of your children, decide to prepare a plan, in case the children have not thought about it, we will also happily thank her for the gesture, since perhaps we ourselves do not plan anything for her on Easter Day. the Mother .

IDEAL PLANS FOR FATHER’S DAY
If we want our children to enjoy the day and have a good memory of it, we must plan something in which we all have a good time. Many parents decide to have a meal or dinner at home with all their children , especially if they are older and have become independent.
THE FATHER IS ALSO EXCITED TO ORGANIZE HIS OWN DAY TO ENJOY IT WITH HIS CHILDREN
However, it is also very likely that your wife or your children would like to cook for you on Father’s Day , if so, be proud and let them know how much you have enjoyed the food.
Another option is to eat at a restaurant . The good thing about this plan is that you will not have to clean the kitchen and the dishes after eating, but it is not as economical as the first one. If you decide to go to a restaurant, try to make it a type of food that your children like and take into account any factor to take into account, such as a food allergy, if they do not eat meat or if they simply do not like it. that particular kind of food. The most important thing is that you all enjoy the experience.
If your children are younger you can take them to an amusement park or to see a children’s movie at the cinema . These types of events make them have a great time and also acquire a very good memory of the day.
A cheaper option is to spend the day in the mountains or take them to the park and play with them , dedicating more time to them than we do on an ordinary day. If we go outdoors, some of the plans can be a picnic, a ball game, picking mushrooms or wild flowers, or simply lying on the grass to enjoy the moment.
Since we are in the countryside we can take advantage of the opportunity to go for a walk, in this way the children will burn a bit of adrenaline and for the father it will be highly beneficial for their health, whether they have a very active life or not.
This is so because what we celebrate is Father’s Day , therefore spending more time with your children on this day will make them realize (even more) that their father loves them and that is why they celebrate Father’s Day with him. , being as proud as they are of their father.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO SPEND TIME WITH THE FAMILY
Normally, children repeat what they see at home and if we make a gift to our own father or organize plans for him in his day they will see and learn the same and apply it with you. And if we are at home we can organize a game to spend the evening together , for example, we can have a great time playing Monopoli or Parcheesi with our children and age does not depend so much on that, because both adults and children enjoy playing games. these classics. However, we may be more modern parents and prefer to play a family video game with our children, such as tennis or bowling on the Wii.
At home we can also take advantage of the day with our children by having them do our various tasks with us, for example, they can help us cook dinner or spend the lawn mower with us. On this Father’s Day we will make our children the protagonists and understand that without children this day is nothing for man. As they will feel valued, they will realize that their father has made an effort for them in their day and that they will carry it in their memory forever.
If any other family member, such as the parents’ siblings or friends who also have children, want to spend the day with us and our children, we can organize any of the plans that we have discussed previously all together. Children will love spending the day with their cousins and friends while remembering why they are all together on this day.
Another idea is to go out and buy a gift for the parents all together, with or without the father . Children will be very excited to be able to choose their father’s gift and the father will also love that it is his own children who are interested in what he might like. By doing this activity, the little ones begin to understand the value of money (what is expensive and what is not, what is realistic to buy and what is extremely impossible). Although the father may not be enthusiastic about shopping, he will surely enjoy the outing, because the only purpose of going to the commercial area will be to buy what he likes the most, but chosen by his children (and even with their money, but surely the little ones don’t care about this).
The cheapest alternative is for the mother, or the school, to help the children make a material gift to their father, such as a drawing, a necklace with pasta or a jar of salts painted with colored chalk.
Finally, before going to sleep we can read them a longer story than usual and, if we wish, we can even sleep with them for a while or let them sleep in our bed, since we will make them see in this way that on this day so special we can make some exceptions.
