Welcome my guest contributor Danielle from Happenings of the Harper Household!
I have always been a huge fan of sitcoms. As a kiddo I was always pumped for Friday evenings – remember T.G.I.F.? And now as a mom of three little girls I still prefer to watch sitcoms. At the moment my absolute favorite is Modern Family. I love how this series has taken the good old fashioned sitcom I am so fond of and put… well, a modern twist on it. I just adore the Pritchett/Dunphy clan and the dynamic cast they bring to my television screen. But my most favorite part of the show has to be when the cast talks directly into the camera and you can actually hear what they are thinking. That alone makes Modern Family unlike any other sitcom that has ever aired.
If you’re a huge Modern Family fan like me then I know you will be stoked to hear that as of September 24th 2013 Modern Family: Season 4 is now available on Blu-ray and DVD!
The laughs — and the awards — just keep on coming for the #1-rated “Modern Family,” winner of three consecutive Emmy® Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series! With Jay and Gloria’s baby on the way and Haley going off to college, the entire Pritchett/Dunphy clan faces some major surprises as they bicker and bond over house-flipping headaches, unwanted play dates, and everything from hot-tempered hormones to in utero karaoke. Featuring a stellar array of guest stars including Matthew Broderick, Shelley Long and Elizabeth Banks, Season Four takes a heartfelt and laugh-out-loud hilarious look at what it means to be a “Modern Family.”
Plus there are lots of special features that you didn’t get to see while watching the season when it first aired including deleted/alternate scenes, “Modern Family” writers, Gag Reel, and lots more.
While watching Modern Family I can find myself laughing out loud one moment and sobbing like a baby the next. Today while watching a few episodes I may have shed a tear when Haley called her parents on their drive home from dropping her off at college. That simple “I’ll miss you” at the end of their conversation was enough to send this mama over the deep end. Sending your kiddo off to college is a huge step – one I don’t want to even think about yet! Sending them off to kindergarten can be just as heart wrenching as Mitchell and Cameron experience as Lilly heads off to her first day and as I can confirm when my oldest entered elementary school this year.
With our favorite characters heading back to school on the Modern Family: Season 4 Blu-ray and DVD’s and our own kiddos heading back as well it seems only fitting to share..
Back to School Tips for Modern Parents
Set Guidelines. Before you send off your precious son or daughter to fend for their selves in college, make sure you clearly discuss guidelines. Remind them that even though you are not there to set specific rules, they are still responsible for their actions. Claire and Phil certainly know what it’s like when your daughter calls you one night because they’ve been caught doing illegal things by the police.
Prepare Your Little One. Kindergarten is a huge step for your little one! Make sure they are prepared for their big day by giving them a basic educational foundation and teaching them to play well with others. When Lily heads off to kindergarten and gets in a tousle on her first day, Cam and Mitchell are put in a very awkward situation. No parent wants to be in the same situation!
Communication is Key. Set up specific times to continue growing as a family. There is a fine line between suffocating your college kid and staying informed about what’s going on in their life. Many families will select a certain time, for instance Sunday afternoons, to have family phone calls and catch up on the week’s happenings, even if they have talked throughout the week. Just because your son or daughter has moved out, it does not mean that your relationship has to suffer! In fact, sometimes parent-child relationships grow once the kid has left for college.
Distract Yourself. Plan a fun activity for yourself right after dropping your son of in his college dorm room or leaving your daughter for the first day of kindergarten. Have a distraction for yourself so that you don’t find yourself at home looking through photo albums and wondering “how did the time go by so quickly?” These steps are exciting, but certainly emotional and you don’t want to wallow in your sorrows.
Show You Care. No matter what age your child is, make sure you are sharing in their excitement! Whether you have a kindergartener bringing home a painting or a college student signing up for campus activities, ask them questions about their life and listen to their answers. Celebrate with them when they ace an exam or learn to count to 20.
A great way to distract yourself while the kiddos head off to school is grabbing a copy of Modern Family: Season 4 since it is available for purchase now. Or better yet – how about winning one? Enter below!
