Bonding is an important element to creating a happy family, and while those bonding moments can’t always be forced, here are four ways to help create meaningful family moments and strengthen bonds.
Get the kids involved. Creating activities for the kids is all well and good, but getting them involved in every step of the process, including the planning, is a great way to cement family ties and develop strong bonds. The kids may even surprise you and come up with better ideas than your own!
Family interviews. Odds are our parents have lived interesting lives and have many interesting stories to tell. Have the kids conduct “family interviews” and ask questions, not only will they love the stories and get to know their grandparents, but you may even learn a few things you never knew.
Plant a family garden. It takes a lot of love and nurturing to make a garden grow, much like it does to make a family strong. Gardening with the kids is a great way to share that labour of love, and growing food in that garden will go a long way to helping kids understand the value of that work.
Cook together as a family. Feeding a family is a lot of work, but cooking can be a lot of fun when the whole family is involved, and the kids can even get pretty creative when it comes to culinary concoctions.
