I’m always very vocal about my family being my ‘why’ – my motivation and my purpose. Finding the time to spend with your family is more challenging with our hectic modern city lifestyles, but it is essential to spend as much time as possible with family. Studies suggest that family time has profound benefits for all generations.
3 Reasons Why Family Time Is Important
1. Strengthen relationships.
Spending time with family develops stronger bonds and relationships. We never know when our (or any family member’s) time could be up, so we have to enjoy time with our family while we’re still blessed to have them with us.
2. Build self-esteem.
The more positive family time a child is exposed to, the more self-confidence, self-esteem, and happiness they possess as adults.
3. Instill family values.
Children who grow up in a loving family are more likely to find making and maintaining positive friendships and relationships more naturally, and, on average, will place more significance on family values.
