As my brother once said, Family Home Evening is important, but it doesn’t need to be a big deal. Even if you just sing a song, say a prayer, read a scripture, and then eat a cookie! What’s important is the time together as a family.
My kids won’t sit still for long enough to have a “traditional” family home evening. At their age, they need something to keep them in their seats. Thus, we have family home evening in conjunction with dinner. We always have dinner at the table, and it’s the longest stretch that they will sit in one place. So for the time being, it’s the perfect time to teach them a lesson J Lately, we’ve been teaching the “basic” scripture stories, like Daniel and the Lion’s Den, David and Goliath, etc. We’ve also used Behold, Your Little Ones. If you don’t have this, I highly recommend it! It’s a great resource for teaching preschool aged children about the gospel, and even review the lessons they learned in Nursery.
I find in our family it’s very important to have the gospel teachings in the home, especially since our family has and will continue to move around a lot, and what each ward presents is sometimes different than we would teach it.
