Regular bedtimes and nightly  family meals help foster healthier kids who are better prepared to  tackle challenges. But some of your family&#8217;s routine habits may be  getting in the way of something better.<\/p>\n<p>Habits get established for any number of reasons &#8211; busy schedules,  convenience, or not realizing you have other choices. Shortcuts and  timesavers can give you more time to spend together, but they could also  be shortchanging your experience.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Change a Habit<\/h3>\n<p>Breaking habits can be tough, but luckily there are many ways to  reach your goals. Here are some simple questions and tips to help you  break any bad family habits, and establish new, better ones.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What&#8217;s the habit?<\/strong><br \/>\nGet everyone together and  talk about what family habit you would like to change. Is it unhealthy  eating? Too much TV? Always running late? Start small and keep it  simple. If everyone is involved in the conversation, you&#8217;re more likely  to get everyone&#8217;s buy-in and meet with success.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What&#8217;s the reward?<\/strong><br \/>\nPeople stick to habits  because something rewards that behavior. The reward makes it easier for  the brain to put the behavior on autopilot, and before you know it, you  have a habit. But the reward may not be that obvious. You may have to  try out different rewards to discover what the true payoff for the bad  habit really is. For example, you might discover that the real reward of  watching TV after dinner is spending time together as a family.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What&#8217;s the plan?<\/strong><br \/>\nOnce you identify the habit  and understand its reward, you can come up with a family plan to start a  new habit with new &#8211; and better &#8211; rewards for everyone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Ideas for New Routines<\/h3>\n<p>Here are some common family habits that could use a little revamping &#8211; and some easy ways you can make a positive change.<\/p>\n<h4>TV Habits<\/h4>\n<p>After a long day, the couch seems to be calling you to just sit and  watch TV &#8211; even though you know you could or should be doing other  things. But you don&#8217;t have to be stuck in a TV rut. Talk about it as a  family and see if you can figure out what your reward is for watching  TV. Is it time together? Is it relaxation? Or is it enjoying a good  story? Once you identify the reward, look for some other ways to get it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Togetherness<\/strong><br \/>\nIf it&#8217;s about being together,  brainstorm some other family activities. Think about family game night,  backyard soccer, arts and crafts projects, or time at the neighborhood  park.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Relaxation<\/strong><br \/>\nIf it&#8217;s just about chilling out, try substituting other relaxing activities like listening to music, or even just talking.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.culinary.net\/images\/300-300\/projects\/11286bt.jpg\" border=\"1\" alt=\"\" hspace=\"3\" vspace=\"3\" align=\"right\" \/><\/li>\n<li><strong>Story time<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you all enjoy the story element  of your favorite TV shows, how about looking for new stories? Set aside  some individual reading time, or let everyone take turns reading aloud  from their favorite book. Reading a whole story as a family is a fun  activity &#8211; and younger kids may enjoy acting out their favorite scenes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Information Habits<\/h3>\n<p>Families need to get information about pet grooming deals,  kid-friendly restaurants, or vacation tips and deals. With a time crunch  &#8211; and the force of old habits &#8211; it&#8217;s easy to rely on the same source  for answers. But using the same search engine out of habit could be  letting you down. For example, when it comes to search, people chose  Bing web search results over Google nearly 2 to 1 in blind comparison  tests.* In addition to useful results, Bing also offers access to your  social networks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Quora and more,  letting you exchange ideas and discover what your friends are searching &#8211;  to help you spend less time hunting and more time doing. You can test  if changing your habit is right for you with the Bing It On Challenge at  <a href=\"http:\/\/track.familyfeatures.com\/redirect\/11286\/bing.html\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">www.bing.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Eating Habits<\/h3>\n<p>Full schedules often lead to fast food dinners or junk foods for  snacks. While a quick meal when you&#8217;re busy may seem like a reward, it  really adds up to spending extra money and adding extra calories. These  ideas still get you food quickly, but with a much healthier payoff.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take a look at your weekly schedule and plan meals and snacks  accordingly. If you know a particular night is hectic, you can plan a  make-ahead meal and healthier on-the-go snacks to take with you.<\/li>\n<li>Keep healthy options handy. Apples are the perfect fast food &#8211; just  pop one in your bag or stash one in the cup holder in your car.  Pre-measure individual servings of trail mix or nuts and keep them in  snack sized containers so you can just grab one and go.<\/li>\n<li>If you do have to grab a fast food meal, try to make smarter  choices. Go for grilled chicken instead of breaded and fried, salad  instead of a burger, and apple slices instead of fries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Remember, while some habits and routines can be helpful, it&#8217;s a good  idea to re-examine them now and then to see if, with a few small  changes, your family could be better off.<\/p>\n<p><span>*Based on a comparison of web search results pane  only; excludes ads, Bing&#8217;s Snapshot and Social Search panes and Google&#8217;s  Knowledge Graph.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Family Features) Routine can be a good thing.
