Description:
Barbara Glanz is a well-known author of books on successful business communication and customer relations, as well as workplace advice to make the office a more human and spirited place to be. Now she has turned her considerable insight to warming up the home, with a virtual cornucopia of ideas and firsthand anecdotes about families of all kinds--extended, single-parent, retired people, and multicultural. Hundreds of creative ideas to generate feelings of warmth and togetherness fill the book: a family with 10 children gives each of them the task of doing one helpful job every day for a neighbor; a Thanksgiving Tree with written notes hung on its branches detailing what family members are individually grateful for, to be read aloud when gathered for dinner; spending an entire, leisurely day with the whole family in pajamas playing games, telling stories, and reading aloud together; and simple, entertaining games that can be played at the dinner table with children and adults participating equally. Glanz offers ways to establish traditions and meaningful family rituals, methods to make mealtimes both pleasant and memorable, and suggestions for learning to be more empathetic to others and how to show children the value and pleasures of doing meaningful volunteer work. This is a book for families who feel like the speed of today's world and pace of change may be making their lives less fulfilling and enjoyable than they could be, and it shows how to reverse that trend on your own family in creative, moving, and even whimsical ways. --Mark A. Hetts
