Only An Hour
With the multitude of distractions that are out there, families can find they spend a whole lot of time apart. Worse yet, they can all be in the same room and not even speak to each other because of TV shows, video, or video games.
What if time was set aside every week for something the family did together? A board game, a walk in the park, a game of basketball or soccer, or talk to each other without TV or video games. Kids learn to take turns, socialize, and verbalize.
Try art projects like everyone getting a canvas and see what each of you come up with. Talk to each other while creating great works of art.
When you spend time together as a family, it helps build strong bonds and increases a child's self-assurance, but it gives all of you priceless memories.
Not only is it quality time, but you may just start a new family tradition.
