8 Fun Fall
Traditions
for Families BY: sarah lyons

Fall means cooler temperatures, changing and falling leaves, and many fun
activities to enjoy. Traditions create closeness in a family and make memories
that last a lifetime. Fall is a perfect time to start some new traditions that
your family will look forward to each year. Try some of these ideas.

15
Pumpkins
Pumpkins are a symbol of fall. You can easily
incorporate them into your family’s fall traditions.
Take the kids to the pumpkin patch and pick the perfect
one as a family. While you carve it, try different
pumpkin recipes like pumpkin bars, pumpkin bread,
or roasted pumpkin seeds. Have each family member
choose a small pumpkin or gourd and paint silly faces
on them for another fun idea.

Campfire
As the nights get cooler, find time to sit around the
campfire as a family, either in the backyard or at a
local park. Start a fun tradition as you roast hot dogs,
make S’mores, and tell ghost stories.

Apple Picking
As fall approaches, the apples are ready to be
harvested. Head to a nearby orchard as a family to
pick apples and have a picnic. If available, pick up some
apple cider and try some cider donuts. Back at home,
try making homemade applesauce, apple pies, or apple
pancakes. Don’t forget to add some fresh picked apples
to the lunch boxes.

Something Spooky
For the older kids, try braving a haunted house
together. Nothing says family bonding more than
exploring a haunted house and experiencing thrills
around every corner. Not ready for something so
scary? Let the kids test their navigation skills as you
work your way through a corn maze.

16
 in season

Football
Many families enjoy sports and football is
a favorite fall pastime. Attend a high school,
college, or professional game as a family.
Try tailgating before the game and have fun
cheering on your team together. It is also just
as fun to root for your team from the comfort
of your own living room. Prepare some
delicious snacks and watch the game together.

17
Planting
Fall is the perfect time to plant bulbs and trees.
Use the opportunity to teach your kids about
gardening. Let them help pick out items and
plant them in your yard. If you plant a tree, start
a tradition of taking a family photo in front of
it each year. Over time it will be fun to compare
the tree’s growth, as well as your family.

Leaves
As the leaves begin to change, take a scenic
drive. Stop and get ice cream along the way or
take a pit stop at a local playground to break up
the drive. You may also have a lot of leaves in
your yard to clean up. Have the kids help rake
them into a big pile and jump in. Don’t forget to
snap some photos that are certain to be in the
running for the family Christmas card.

Comfort Food
Everyone enjoys comfort food. Get the kids
involved in cooking so they can learn to make
your family’s favorite foods. It is also a good
time to come up with some new recipes to enjoy
in the years to come. While you are cooking,
talk to them about the importance of family
traditions.
Family traditions are easy to start and so
worthwhile to continue. As your children grow,
they may not remember everything you hope
they will, but the traditions that you return to,
year after year, will create lasting memories
that they will treasure for years to come.

Thanksgiving
The Holiday We
Shouldn’t Overlook By: rebecca Eanes
I bought a Christmas tree a few days ago. In the middle of October,
I strolled into the decked halls of the Christmas section and picked up
a new tree. I passed through the Halloween section on my way there.
Thanksgiving was nowhere in sight. Where has Thanksgiving gone,
and why are we so eager to skip the season of Thanksgiving?

25
 Don’t worry. I won’t berate you for putting your tree
up in November. I, too, enjoy the Christmas cheer! I’m
only suggesting that we take a beat to observe the season
of Thanksgiving – to nestle into all it has to offer our
children and ourselves – before we head straight into
the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season. Here are
a few reasons we shouldn’t overlook Thanksgiving.

Nature
The world is beautiful this time of year. Before we
wish for enough snow to build a snowman, let’s pause
with our children to admire the beauty of autumn. I
believe one of the best gifts we can give our children
is to teach them to pause and savor the season they are
in. Each season has a purpose, both in nature and in
our lives. I think we are all guilty of wishing too much
away, of looking ahead to the next season without fully
embracing the one we’re in. Take time to walk with
your kids through the forest, to jump in puddles before
they ice over, to talk about the colorful trees before they
are bare once again. It isn’t just the falling leaves that
we can observe with children, but the nature of cycles
and rhythms and the value of embracing the present.
By slowing down to observe Thanksgiving, you are,
at least in some small way, teaching your kids how to
pause and enjoy the moment while giving this gift to
yourself as well.

Delayed Gratification
Of course children are eager for the Christmas season.
Toys and gifts, early dismissals and school closings,
snowmen and sledding!

26
 editor’s choice

It’s definitely more exciting than the often dreary end

of November, but children who can delay gratification do
better in school, have fewer behavioral problems, and end
up with higher SAT scores. As adults, they complete college
at higher rates and go on to earn higher incomes whereas
children who have the most trouble delaying gratification
are more likely to struggle with drug and alcohol addiction.
These were the results of the infamous marshmallow study
in the 1960’s. While a more recent study challenges those
findings to a degree, a strong correlation was still found
between the ability to delay gratification and future success.

27
 What does Thanksgiving have to do
with delayed gratification?
Rather than moving instantly from the excitement of Trick
or Treating (getting) and the fun of Christmas (getting),
taking time to focus on Thanksgiving (giving) helps children
build their patience skills – to not only wait for the next time
they get something but to spend time dwelling in the place of
giving thanks for what they already have. It’s a valuable skill
and another often unseen benefit of Thanksgiving.

Gratitude
An obvious benefit to celebrating Thanksgiving is in teaching
children gratitude. We all want happy kids, and according to
research by the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley,
people who practice gratitude feel considerably happier than
those who do not. Some of my favorite gratitude-building
habits and activities include:
1. Keeping a gratitude journal with your child. Each
evening before bed, write down what each of you are
grateful for that day. Of course, this could just become a
nightly chat rather than a journal. Either way, the habit
of looking for things to be grateful for is a good habit to
start.
2. Make giving and volunteering a habit. Donate gently
used toys and clothing. Take bags of food to the animal
shelter. Serve with a local food pantry. Donate books to
the library. There are plenty of opportunities to get your
child involved in volunteering, and research also shows
that volunteering enhances happiness!
3. Have an attitude of gratitude yourself. After all, children
learn most by watching what we do!

28
 editor’s choice

Togetherness
Thanksgiving is a time to
celebrate family and honor
togetherness. Whether it’s to
gather around a meal or watching
a football game, the focus on
spending quality face-to-face
time with family is increasingly
important in our busy world.
These moments build the bonds
of family and create feelings
of emotional security and fond
memories. Traditions that we
do together give children a sense
of belonging and importance.
Use November to slow down a
bit. Pause long enough to notice
how much your kids have grown
and changed because next
Thanksgiving, everything will
be different again. Savor the
season you are in. Christmas
will be here soon enough!

Fall
Handprint
Wreath
BY: digital media team

Handprint art is always a wonderful way to get creative while documenting a

moment in your little one’s childhood (their hands will never be as tiny as they
are now!). Whether you’ve been pulling all of your seasonal decor from the
attic— decorating your house with #PumpkinEverything—or you’re more of
a minimalist, this fall hand wreath is a home decor accent piece with a personal
touch that you and the kids will love making and displaying!

33
MATERIALS:
• Pencil (to trace your hand)
• Construction paper
• Yarn
• Glue
• Scissors

DIRECTIONS:
1. Trace your hand on a piece of paper. Cut it out and
use as a stencil to cut your handprint out multiple
times on colorful construction paper.
2. Cut about 3-4 handprints in each color.
3. With two sheets of black paper, cut out a horseshoe
on each sheet. Glue the ends together.
4. It should look like an oval or a circle when the two
pieces are glued together.
5. Let the glue dry. Then add a diagonal line of glue to
attach the colorful handprints.
6. Do this for each handprint.
7. Once they are all attached to the black paper, attach
a string at the top of the oval or circle.
8. Hang it on your front door or any wall in your house!
TIP: If you have multiple children, they can
contribute their handprints to one wreath or they
can each make their own!

The Pareto
Principle:
What It Can Teach Your Child
About Time Management BY: Deborah Song
One of the biggest challenges of being a parent is time management. In
any given day, there are at least twenty to-dos, from helping our child
with homework, to baking cupcakes for her birthday, to doing laundry.
And just like laundry, the list only seems to mount as the day progresses.

37
 Not only do we have our own schedules
to manage, but now more than ever, it’s
becoming crucial to teach our kids smart
time management as well. Without the
right strategy, we can easily let our kid’s
sports’ schedules run their lives past the
scrimmage line.
Turns out, there’s actually a law called
the Pareto Principle, which says that most
people obtain 80 percent of their actual
results from 20 percent of their efforts. It is a
particularly applicable law when it comes to
productivity and sales, where 80 percent of
results come from 20 percent of employees,
and 80 percent of revenue usually comes
from 20 percent of the products.
If this law actually applies to real life,
then the busiest people aren’t the most
productive because they work more while
sacrificing sleep. They just work smarter.
By tackling the to-dos that yield the most
results with the least amount of effort,
we, too, could make big impacts where it
matters most.
In order to determine what that 20 percent
is, it’s important to rank to-dos with razor
sharp, even mathematical precision. Here’s
an algorithm that can help.

38
 special Feature

1. For each to do, you will need to

assign it two numbers: one for
effort (a number between 1 to 10,
with 1 being the least amount of
effort), and one for the potential
for positive impact (also between
1 to 10 with 10 representing the
highest impact)
2. Then, divide, effort by impact.
3. Rank tasks from lowest to
highest in number.

Here’s an example.
Help your child with science project:
Effort =7, Impact = 9, Priority =.7
Baking cupcakes for birthday party:
Effort= 6, Impact= 3, Priority = 2
Doing laundry:
Effort = 4, Impact =5, Priority = .8

39
 Based on this example, you would help your
child with her science project first, then do
laundry, then bake cupcakes. Getting this
technical can help define what you should be
doing versus what you want to be doing. It may
even save you from over committing and over
estimating your abilities, which paradoxically
could enable you to do more.
