Psychotherapist Mary Jo Rapini recommends these ideas for honoring those in military service.
Memorial Day is the unofficial kick-off to summer, but its meaning runs much deeper. It's a time to pay respect to the men and women who have given their lives in service. As you enjoy a picnic lunch with friends and family or a backyard barbecue, I recommend these five ideas for honoring those in military service.1. On Memorial Day at 3 p.m. across the USA, there is a moment of remembrance.
Make it a point to talk to your children about the significance of doing this. At 3 p.m., stay still and quiet for one to two minutes. This teaches your children how to reflect and meditate on those who gave up their lives for theirs.These are fun to attend and remind your family what the day is all about.
3. Have your children read a book or read one to them about military heroes who served the country and the impact they left on the world. If your children are older, watch a movie together, such as "Private Benjamin," "Lincoln," or "1917," as a family and talk about the significance of wars, freedom, and the importance of democracy.Taking time to draw a picture or write letters of gratitude with your children is fun and meaningful. You can mail the letters or packages to a non-profit organization called "Support our Troops" at Support Our Troops, 13791 N. Nebraska Ave, Tampa, FL 33613.
