How good are you at making room for quality time with your family?

A new magazine called SUCCESS offers five tips to help you to achieve a successful relationship with your family.

  1. Create a family calendar. Schedule time each week for specific family events and stick to it. 
  2. Turn off the TV, video games and the computer. Exercise as a team: bike, walk, shoot hoops in the driveway or hit the slopes.
  3. Cook quickly and eat slowly. Take time to share something you learned that day and listen to each other.
  4. Pack the marshmallows. Camping promotes family togetherness and incorporates a variety of individual interests. Fish, swim, hike, photograph, bike, play cards, stargaze. Don’t forget to meet around the campfire at night.
  5. Strive for quality over quantity. Really getting to know and understand each other makes all the difference, whether in large blocks or in little moments.
