With school starting it can be hard to make time to do things together as a family. Everyone gets extremely busy with clubs, extracurriculars, errands to run, and homework to complete. There are times that no one will be at your house, because you are all out and about doing things.Â
To help with this you could schedule family time on a certain day and time every week. This time does not even have to be super long. It can be super short and all you have time to talk about is everyone’s day so far, or it could be that one night no one has anything so you decide to take the whole night and do something fun. Like going out for a family dinner, or staying in and having movie night with junk food and soda. Find something that everyone in your family can enjoy so that you can all spend time together means something to everyone.Â
It could also be a situation where everyone is usually home but there is not much to do. This problem can be solved by simply thinking outside of the box. Be creative and think of something new and fun that can bring the whole family together, something that everyone can enjoy. Finding things like having a board game night where everyone is laughing and being competitive. Or if you want something a little more chill go and see a movie or play, and enjoy the time you’re spending out with each other.
If you want to do something productive, find some productive things to do. Go and clean out your Gulfport Storage unit, and go through and find some things that other family members might want. Explore your family’s treasures. Or go through old family pictures and digitize them or put them in a scrapbook.Â
It does not matter what you do to spend time together all that matters is that you are spending time together as a family.Â
