When you hear the quote “the family that plays together stays together” what do you think about? You may wonder if that is indeed a true statement. As you think about your family growing up and other families that you know you will begin to realize that this statement does indeed ring true. Today A Limo World wants to highlight some of the main benefits that families experience when they spend quality time together.
Learning to Connect with Other Family Members
One of the largest benefits of spending time with your children is that it helps create bonds. Every member of your family has a different personality. Getting some of those personalities to mesh can sometimes happen naturally and other times requires more effort. Even those relationships that seem to develop more organically will increase in strength with some extra time spend as a family. When you spend time together your family will build deeper connections with each one another.
Feeling Like You Belong in Your Family
As your family builds relationships with one another it will create a sense of belonging. Everyone needs to feel like they have a place where they belong. Knowing that there is a place that will accept and love you just exactly as you are brings peace and comfort to individuals. When you know that you belong the peace you feel will spill over to other areas of your life as well.
Improve Self Esteem & Self Worth
When your kids know that they can be their authentic self with their family it will also increase their self-esteem and self-image. In today’s digital society teen suicide, depression, and anxiety are at an all time high. Kids look at social media and begin dangerously comparing themselves to the pictures and stories that are shared online. Comparing your weaknesses to someone else’s highlight reel is a dangerous thing to do. Anything that parents can do to counteract suicide, depression, and anxiety will be worth all the effort it takes.
More Family Time Can Make a Child Behave
Another huge benefit of spending quality time together as a family is that it will help your kids behave. When children know that they are loved they are more likely to respect authority. Every parent wants their children to listen when they are asked to do things right? Studies have repeatedly shown that children who spend more time with their parents get in trouble with the law less often and skip school less often. Research has also shown that kids that regularly engage in meaningful activities together are less violent.

In addition to the benefits listed above spending time together as a family helps reduce stress, reduces the risk of obesity, and increases academic performance. All of these benefits add up to be pretty impressive. So grab your family and start planning some fun activities. You do not have to do anything crazy for it to give you the benefits mentioned above.
