I wish a make coffee for my hubby
I want to make up my mind to get early before the sunrise
I make up my children to do meditation regularly
she makes a suggestion for thier family
please correct these sentence

[Beeesneees]

They all need full stops and one needs a capital letter.
Note the spelling of 'their'.

This sentence:
I make up my family to do meditation' is not correct use of 'make up'.
