POWER PLAY

A New Spin On… Play Families who play together form stronger, more trusting bonds

by Daphne Taylor Street

What are some things your family would enjoy doing together to get everyone to join in and play? You might even have to force it at first, but the benefits will be so worth the struggle, creating this tradition in your home!

Boost your family bonds, communication and trust by committing to play together - it's not all so serious!

With the stress piled high on all family members - parents at work, managing a home, kids with homework and often extracurricular activities, even the young kids feel pressure to behave and excel - it's so important for everyone to stop what they're doing, come together and play!

Maybe your family likes board games, being creative, playing sports, going on adventures, group video games - anything that encourages all of you to interact together in a playful way. The benefits towards improving bonds, reducing stress, increasing communication and building feelings of trust and love are extraordinary in these moments. Play often!
