5 Ways You Can Make the Most of Family Time

If your family is like ours, your days are filled with work, school, and other activities. It may be hard to find quality time, but it’s so important to take time together. We wanted to share a few ways to make the most of family time. Often, this time revolves around a meal, usually breakfast or dinner, depending on your schedule. But, it can be any purposeful time set aside.

5 ways you can make the most of your family’s time together

1. Be present- Turn off all your electronic devices, cell phones, televisions, game devices, etc. and be with your family physically and mentally.
2. Set a time to be together- Make the time and day part of your routine. Being consistent will help you remember and make it a habit.
3. Pick a recipe to make together- If your time together revolves around eating dinner, pick a recipe that you can all help with and make that part of your time together.
4. Create a special place to gather- If you have a place on the porch, or at your dining room table, pick that favorite spot and gather there as a family.
5. Extend the time- If you usually eat dinner together as a family, extend that time to include a board game after or another activity that you can do together.

Spending time together as a family is such a vital part of relationship building. These tips can also apply to time spent with your husband, wife, or your friends.
