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.

Here are some tips for connecting:

  • Practice talking (and really listening) to your kids. It's a skill that can always be improved upon.
  • 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.
