Importance Of Family Time

Gone are the days when each member of the family spent some quality time together. Earlier from having breakfast to dinner, each member of the family ate together. Today, children like to spend long hours on cellphone, grab their food in the room while parents are involved in their business deals and other economic or non-economic activity. So, the bonds and ties between members may not be as strong as in the earlier time and this might create misunderstandings between them.

Family time is important to build strong ties and bonds for a happy and healthy family. It is an essential factor because spending time with your family ensures strong bonds, retains love, constructs deep connections and realtionships. It is imporatnt for members to talk to each other, delete the misunderstandings, become the source of reliability and also create a sense of belongingness.

Try to indulge in a healthy conversation and talk to each other. The age/generation gap between parents and children needs to be bridged up through talking and lsitening to each other. Leave your other work and talk to your children, especially about drugs and alcohol and set a good example for them. Parents often think differently, might be because of their experience and hardships they have faced but listening to your kids is equally imporatnt. This society in constructed in a way where children cannot share their inner problems or hardships in their life. So, parents try to talk to your kids about their life as their friend. Listen, talk and evaluate the problems.

Children grasp things easily what they are taught and shown. Try to instill family values in your children to bring kindness out of them. Make them learn and practice about family rituals and traditions. This ensures better understnading of family backgrounds and mannerism. To celebrate ocassions like birthdays, anniversaries and festivals together benefits each memeber to spend some quality time together. No celebration is complete without family. Try to distribute happiness in the smallest bit around yourself.

Family is not a matter of convenience, but priority. Eat together, plan out some amazing hill station tours or somewhere near beachside and dont let any other thing spoil your precious family time.
