Isn’t Just for Fun

Wmoney to provide them with a comfortable life- style — but
e love our families and spend so much effort trying to make
sometimes we forget that giving our kids our time is more important than providing them with cool clothes or the latest technology trends. Even for older kids — who you’d be pretty hard-pressed to get to admit that they want more attention from their parents and siblings — a good solid family hang has serious benefits. Summer break is almost here, and it’s the perfect time for some good old fashioned family bonding. Here’s why you should make QT your top priority.
And so can physical activity. Sharing active play with your family isn’t just a good way to get your heart pumping and burn calories. It’s also a great way to build family bonds. When you play tag, toss a Frisbee, or join in a dance party, you’re creating memories your child will treasure someday— memories of times you spent laughing and simply enjoying each other’s company.
it is the quality time that we need to give our family and children. Your kids care less about the hours you spend with them, than how you spend your time with them. As your children get older and become teenagers, it becomes tougher to spend family time with them. It’s mainly because life keeps you busy and your children reach a stage where their friends are the main priority.
“Learn new skills cooperatively,” says Sanders. He recommends letting your child practice a skill (such as swinging a bat) several times before you step in with suggestions for improvement. (This goes for big brothers and sisters too). Kids also enjoy the chance to give lessons. “My kids have been trying to teach me to hula hoop and I’ve been trying to teach them to jump rope,” says Scituate, Massachusetts mother Laurie Schneider. “Neither of us have been very successful, but it’s fun!”
As a parent, you have to be willing to go down to their level and enter their world. Sometimes you have to be creative or let them decide what they want to do as a family. But never give up on spending family time with your teens, and they may appreciate it more than what they express. According to studies, healthy families make family time for talking and listening, accepting differences, showing affection and encouragement, sharing chores and decision making, keeping in touch, and making time for each other.
Create Time for Family Play
1. It builds self-esteem in children
Children who spend time with their parents participating in activities together build a positive sense of self- worth. When children feel that they are valued by their parents, they feel more positive about themselves. Family activities don’t have to be expensive or luxurious to be meaningful. Take a walk together, go for a bike ride or play a game of basketball in the driveway. The important part is just being together and enjoying each other’s company.
2. It strengthens family bonds

The benefits of family time are pretty clear. Strong family bonds are essential for kids’ social and emotional development, and for everyone’s well-being adults and children. But especially as kids grow, it’s harder and harder to fit in that important family time. Shared meals can help you bond (even if they don’t end up happening at dinner time).
Families who share everyday activities together as well as share vacations or daily excursions as a group form strong, emotional ties. Studies have found that families who enjoy group activities together share a stronger emotional bond as well as an ability to adapt well to situations as a family. Share your favorite hobbies, sports, books, movies or other favorite activities and build strong family ties for life.
3. It develops positive behaviors Children and adolescents who spend more time with their parents are less likely to experiment with substances like cigarettes, alcohol and marijuana. According to studies done by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse via Arizona State Uni-
versity, teens who have infrequent family dinners are twice as likely to use tobacco, nearly twice as likely to use alcohol and one and a half times more likely to use marijuana. Kids who frequently eat with their families also usually have improved dietary intake compared to those who don’t eat as often with family members.
4. It creates happy memories Family time creates warm memories for parents and children alike. Children with happy family memories are more likely to create a loving environment for their own children when they grow up. Learning to work and play as a family unit is one of the best lessons children can be taught so they can develop into competent adults and parents.
5. It helps parents and children reconnect Spending time together as a family helps busy parents reconnect with their children. Children tend to share more information about their lives while enjoying an activity with you rather than when you ask them “What did you do today?” It is also a time when life lessons, like sharing, fairness and compassion, can be reinforced without conflict. Children grow and change quickly, so family time is a wonderful time to get to know your child better.
“Play is a magical time for kids and parents,” says Steve Sanders, Ed.D., an author and a professor in the College of Education at the University of South Florida in Tampa, specializing in physical education. “It’s a time when parents aren’t thinking about other duties of the day and can spend one-onone time with the child.” Kids love to see Mom and Dad get silly. “We are big fans of chasing each other around the house,” says Julie Marsh, a mother of three in Denver, Colorado. “Recently, my husband ran after me with our three-year-old on his shoulders threatening to ‘get me’ with her stinky feet. And last weekend, during our baby’s nap, the rest of us rolled around on the dining room floor pretending to be cats.”
Togetherness, Not Teaching One of the big benefits of family time for kids is being allowed to be in charge. Kids love to feel a sense of power and mastery, so it’s critical to let them take the lead when you play. “Your role is to be a facilitator or guide to help your child learn about, refine, and improve physical skills,” says Dr. S. “This creates trust that carries over into other areas of your child’s life.” So allow your child to initiate the games you play together, whether it’s crawling like a cat or kicking a ball.
Make time to talk and listen

Play is a magical time for kids and parents
Team Time Can Be Family Time A big knock on youth sports is that they take away from family time. This can certainly be true, thanks to frequent evening practices and weekend-consuming tournaments. But traveling to those tournaments together can be a fun family event. Volunteering with your child’s sports team lets you spend some quality time with your player (and your spouse, if you’re both helping out). Or, practices for one child can allow for one-on-one time with another. It takes some creativity, but it can be done—and it’s worth it. We often think that it’s all about quantity when it comes to the time we spend with our kids, whereas
“

Another good reason of spending time with family directly relates to the need to share, talk, and listen to each other as a family.
Parents often think that it would be tough to talk to their children, who think differently from grown-ups. However, parents tend to forget their own time, as how it was for them when they were young! The people you liked were mostly those who listened to what you had to say, similarly, you need to listen to what your children have to say. Listening doesn’t mean only hearing the words your child is saying, but also feeling what your child is trying to convey.
