Family is everything in an individual’s life, and one
realizes it very well, some sooner and some later in life. As elders of a
family, it is crucial that you make it a point to give your children the proper
essence of family time as frequently as possible.

Life’s getting super busy for everyone, be it for kids or
adults. But in such tight schedules, it is also quintessential to get ample
time with your loved ones around you. We can quickly break the need for it into
three points—
1. Your children gain a lot of self worth and
self esteem
Accept it or not, but it’s a fact that
children always feel left out when it comes to getting the audacity or say in
stuff related to the house, fundamentally and legitimately, because they are too
young to be a part of important decision making. This can also contribute in
making them feel insecure. But when you as an elder make sure to spend quality
time with your children, as a complete close knit family, they start believing
in the importance and value you give them, and this makes them have a morale
boost, both in terms of their importance as well as self esteem.
2. It strengthens bonds and understandings
Family time is always a satiating feeling
for the family members. Be it going for a movie or excursion together, or just
having meal together—it strengthens your bonds and helps you understand each
other better. You also tend to rely on each other more and you know that the
others will always be there to support you. For children, indulging in fun
stuff with parents embed a positive thought in their minds, wherein they know
that good or bad, come what may, they can always count on their parents.
3. Children get the chance to open up
This is especially for many of those
parents who have a complaint of their children always keeping to themselves and
not opening up about their lives and experiences. Family time helps in breaking
those communication barriers and since, your children start to eventually rely
on you with their stuff; they tend to open up more about their day to day
activities.
