We’re looking forward to the long-awaited school holidays to enjoy with the children in our family: children, grandchildren, nephews, godchildren, friends, neighbors, and all the children who make up our family and friends.
It’s a great opportunity to evaluate the areas of the home where we can share these moments and also see if they are really suitable for activities with children and young people.
These moments are becoming increasingly rare, given that children and young people today have a lot of their attention captured by technology, which, while very beneficial for educational and recreational purposes, cannot completely displace enriching human encounters that remain in everyone’s memory, especially if the circle is attended by people of various ages, such as grandparents, aunts and uncles, and other relatives, whose life stories feed everyone’s fantasies with their narratives and experiences.
In light of what has been raised, we must also consider that the home can be a place for more frequent gatherings, depending on the appeal placed on it to attract children and young people to spend more time with family and friends. This will be a seed for future gatherings when they form a family and continue this tradition.
As an educator, I share the idea that human groups are conducive to human socialization, development, and coexistence. It’s necessary to resume gatherings and reunions whenever possible, taking advantage of various holidays and events.
These meetings may require the review of spaces in our homes to adapt to the number of people invited when sharing meals, drinks, listening to music, dancing, playing an instrument, singing (if any attendee risks), choreography, in short, many human activities that allow laughter, tears (to remember someone), with the possibility of spending some time, hours or days, that lead to the enjoyment of even board games, so forgotten, such as Scrabble, Monopoly, puzzles, Sudoku, cards of various types and all those games that allow healthy competition and the exchange of ideas, opinions, movies, videos current or from the past, that transport the mind to past times, some sad, but there will always be someone who makes jokes about funny situations.
Therefore, everything stated above will require areas appropriate to the quantity and types of invitations planned. Of course, many of our homes may have open spaces for summer activities, including water games for the little ones, with proper adult supervision.
Within the ancient science of FENG SHUI here is in the bagua map, which we have talked about in many previous articles and in it is the location of family and friends, which will be more favorable for these meetings. To refresh your memory, the exact location is the Northwest and East, respectively, the Northwest is related to social relationships, help, and travel and the East is associated with family, relatives and ancestors.
For him Northwest, it is recommended to decorate this area with gray colors and metallic elements to inspire creativity and encourage openness to new relationships. You can also add objects that represent trips or destinations, such as maps or globes. Add photo albums of trips or different destinations, enjoy movies or vacation videos with friends, classmates, or colleagues, others.
For him East, it is a very important area since it is dedicated to honoring the family, building healthy relationships and strengthening bonds. Suggests decorating with quartz such as amethyst and citrine, which will help improve communication and harmony in the family.
Let’s hope that this holiday season will be a great time of meeting and enjoyment for everyone.
See you next time!!!
