We do a lot of activities for the kids, which
is great time spent with them. Education of course is important and time is given to
that most days. Some work gives them pocket money as well as teaching them
skills and they all love helping with the animals.
But weekends and evenings
are family time when I focus even more on the kids. Sometimes
there are guy times river swimming or fishing with the boys while the girls
do more girlie things. On other occasions there will be art and crafts... dance night is popular with all the kids... and plenty of sports and games are great bonding times.
It all helps
them to feel they belong and to show them the love they had been so deprived
of before we took them in. It’s not always easy as they have faced terrible rejection and pain in their
pasts, but we can see huge improvement in them all. I always love time spent with
the kids.
