Top 5 Reasons Why FamilyFun Time Is Important

Page 3: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

In today’s fast-paced world,

where both parents often work and

after-school hours are packed with

sports, music lessons and other

extra-curricular activities …

Page 4: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

… it’s easy to let family fun time

fall by the wayside in favor of

frenetic schedules.

Page 5: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

However, family activities

and traditions are

perhaps more important

now than ever.

Page 6: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

Don’t let this vital – and

fun – part of your family

life slip away …

Page 7: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

… make a point of

scheduling time together

into yours and your kids’

jam-packed schedules.

Page 8: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

Here are 5 of the many

reasons why.

Page 9: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

FAMILY BONDS1

Page 10: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

Time spent together just

having fun is associated

with kids and parents

forming stronger emotional

bonds, and it doesn’t have

to be a major trip or

expensive outing.

Page 11: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

Just a simple picnic at the

park, a trip to watch the stars

at a local observatory …

Page 12: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

… a family bike ride around the

neighborhood can be just as

beneficial (if not as thrilling!) as

a trip to Disney World.

Page 13: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

When you take time out of

your hectic schedule to relax,

hang out and laugh with your

kids, it shows them that

they’re important to you and

you enjoy being with them.

Page 14: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

Kids who spend leisure hours

with their parents are more

likely to turn to them for advice

or seek them out when they’re

having problems.

Page 15: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

FROM BETTER MANNERS

TO BETTER GRADES2

Page 16: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

Youngsters who spend quality hours as a family have been found to perform better academically, be more compassionate and even learn better manners.

Page 17: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

Whether you’re taking the kids out for an ice

cream cone, going on a family sledding expedition

or just watching a movie …

Page 18: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

Whether you’re taking the kids out for an ice

cream cone, going on a family sledding expedition

or just watching a movie …

Page 19: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

… there are so many chances to teach manners, talk about values and even to show by example how to deal with things when they don’t go as planned.

Page 20: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

After all, as one mom put it, “I tell my kids that the

bumps in the road aren’t bumps, they are the road.”

Page 21: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

Kids can learn to navigate them with

kindness and humor.

Page 22: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

BETTER COMMUNICATION

WITH MOM AND DAD3

Page 23: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

When youngsters engage

in fun activities with their

family, more open

communication tends

to develop…

Page 24: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

… and when kids feel free

to talk more openly with

their parents, they tend to

get in less trouble.

Page 25: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

Something as simple as

playing a friendly game of

catch or splashing around

in the pool …

Page 26: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

… can lay the groundwork

for a more connected

relationship between you

and your kids.

Page 27: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

In a time when people of all ages tend to become

a bit isolated by more technological modes of

communicating like the Internet and texting …

Page 28: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

… just getting out and

playing as a family can set

the ground for super inter-

family communication.

Page 29: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

ENHANCED SELF-ESTEEM4

Page 30: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

Whether it’s a family tradition of:

Driving around to “ooh and ah” over Christmas lights.

An annual shell collecting expedition to the beach.

A Jack-o-Lantern carving ritual.

Page 31: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

Times spend having fun as a family hone

a child’s all-important sense of belonging,

of being loved.

Page 32: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

When parents like hanging

out with them, kids get the

notion that they’re people of

value, that their talents,

personalities and opinions

are important.

Page 33: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

Youngsters who grow up

feeling secure of their place in

the world gain a strong

foundation of confidence …

Page 34: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

… and self-esteem that will

serve them well on the

sometimes rocky road to

growing up.

Page 35: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

BETTER TIMES IN THE

TERRIBLE TEENS5

Page 36: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

Teens who have grown

up spending active

family time with parents

often have fewer

behavioral problems in

these tough years.

Page 37: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

In spite of the fact that they

may act like they don’t care

about hanging out with you

and may pass up family

time for a get-together

with friends …

Page 38: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

… parents should keep scheduling special time and not take it too much to heart if it doesn’t always work out.

Page 39: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

After all, kids often need

their parents the most just

when they’re acting like

they couldn’t care less.

Page 40: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

Last but not least, family fun time is just plain

fun, for you and your kids.

Page 41: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

There's not a lot more heart warming than hearing

your child say "remember how we always....?"

Page 42: Top Five Reasons Why Family Fun Time is Important

You're a parent who makes their children a priority

- keep up the good work by providing the best

after-school care possible.
