What is quality time? Quality time is time spent focused on others, sharing energy, values, and feelings while engaged in an activity meaningful to all parties involved. Today, parents and grandparents have such busy lifestyles, extra effort has to go into spending quality time with the family. It is the best, and only sure way to get to know one another in a real and meaningful way.
Quality time can be as spontaneous as daily happenings, such as: sharing family meals, talking about your day, bath-time for baby, or reading a book together. It can also be fun, planned activities, especially those that are not costly, such as: family game night, a day at the park or beach, movies (home or out), bowling, eating out where children can eat free, or family vacation. It becomes quality time when we take advantage of the time by being present in the moment, focused, and sharing ourselves in a meaningful way.
Spending quality time together creates a strong bond within the family, and is the basic way our children learn to relate to others. Family quality time is important, because it gives our children a lens in which to see and relate to the world around them, and grows a family full of sharing and LOVE.
