The secret to quality family time
There are 24 hours in a day and seven days a week — that’s 168 hours if you want to do the math. But at the end of the week, when it seems like you finally have a chance to breathe, do you find yourself asking:
Where did the time go? I barely had time to …
Between work and school, meetings and sporting events, it can feel like those 168 hours are not enough to accomplish life’s daily tasks and spend quality time with your family.
But making quality family time a priority is important. Research shows the benefits include a greater emotional bond, improved communication, and children are more likely to exhibit positive behavior at school.
“Our research shows that, well into the adolescent years, teens continue to spend time with their parents and that this shared time, especially shared time with fathers, has important implications for adolescents’ psychological and social adjustment,” said Susan McHale, professor of human development and director of the Social Science Research Institute at Penn State.
When it comes to the health and well-being of your family, you want to make sure that you’re doing all you can.
You might be surprised to discover that there’s a way that takes the stress out of incorporating quality family time into your daily routine.
