Studies have shown a positive link between regular family activities and emotionally strong children. The power behind family rituals lies in the fact that it brings families together, who spend quality time together, at regular intervals.

COVID has suddenly left us with abundant time in each other’s presence, but the sheer quantity can quickly negatively affect the quality of our interactions. Bring structure to your family time with recurring moments where you give each other your undivided attention. This could be meal time like breakfast or dinner, daily afternoon strolls or weekly game nights, anything goes.

We started a new Saturday morning tradition, where we lazy around in our pyjamas, bake pancakes, and have a long leisurely brunch together. I’m thankful for the conversations that present themselves, it allows me to understand what is really going on in their lives and to give guidance. It’s a moment all four of us look forward to, to recharge after a hectic week.

Because we all could use a little help!
