Family time has become a very precious commodity in today’s frenzied world. It’s more the norm to spend time shuffling our kids to their practices and after-school activities than to actually devote one full hour during the entire month relaxing at home together.
Now that school is in full swing, and we embark on a more rigid and intense schedule, it’s the perfect time to make a U-turn in our busy lives and enjoy some non-interrupted fun with our loved ones. An article in Psychology Today titled The Importance of Staying Connected with Friends and Family stresses that having a close support system with family and friends is instrumental in achieving life-long success for both your personal health and in your school or career.
September 26 is National Family Day, so there is no greater time than this to gather your family together and feel the love! Here are five ways you can celebrate this unique holiday with family near and far.
