When families do things together, they strengthen the family unit TV free games and exercises are a per fect way to build your family. Take some time away from the tube to play “the biggest and the smallest” Instruct family mem bers to find the BIGGEST and the smallest item in various categor ies. For instance, search your home or a specific room for the biggest and smallest books or ball. How about a shoe or plant? You can work in teams or have one person serve as the “big” special ist and another act as the “small” expert If you have several chil dren, you could play adults against the kids. Set a time limit for com pletion. Compare notes on what teams determined to be the biggest and smallest items.

Another way to sustain your family is to build ties with other families. My husband and I had a great time visiting with neighbors as we dug out from the last storm. The spontaneous conversations and snowball fights renewed my sense of community. Fight off your cabin fever by venturing out doors. When is the last time fami lies on your road or in your com munity got together for sled riding or a snowman building party? Shed the TV lethargy and host a winter event.
