Family Connection | Making Family Time Your Favorite Time
Family connections aren't always easy. Everyone has their own interests and quirks. With a little effort and togetherness, family time can become your most favorite time.
Everyone benefits from strong family connections. The kids have a safe place to be themselves and you (as the parent) have a better understanding of who your little one is as a person.
Here are some tips for connecting:

- Have media free times. That means no phone for the parents too!
- Be intentional about individual connection times as well as whole family connection times.
