FHE: Mood Issues
Is anyone in your family ever tired and grumpy right when family home evening is supposed to start? Or do you have a mix of tired adults and wired little ones? Whatever the case is at your house, one thing’s certain: everyone’s mood affects how family home evening unfolds. You can be a powerful influence […]
