Fun Freetime: Swap Sides

Do your kids ever complain and wish they could be in charge - or get jealous of each other? Try swapping roles in your family for a day. Let the kids tuck parents in bed or trade chores with each other or mom and dad. Let siblings act like they see the other siblings act (this could be really helpful if you have an older child who's always the boss, to help them see how their viewed by their siblings). Depending on activities and ages, you may also be able to let them try each other's homework or pretend to participate in each other's practices (obviously there are some limits to actually joining other clubs/sports for a day, but you can mimic the activity at home).
