How do you spend time with your family as your bonding moment?

Having a regular bonding moments with our family is very important. Not just because it's one of the key to have a stable relationship to each other, but it's also a great way to discipline your child in a way that they would listen to you comfortably. I always make sure that even once or twice a week, we must go outside, go to mall, eat with the kid's favorite restaurant, or even have a picnic in the park. It's really nice to do this especially when the kids are still young, and it became a part of our routine.

I completely agree that parents and children should have bonding moments. When I was young, some Saturdays my mom would pick up brunch and take me to a park by the river where we ate then played on the playground. Sometimes they would have craft fairs close by which we would go and browse around. Even now those are some of my favorite moments with my mom. Watching television and talking about it together is also a great bonding moment. It always seems like something on the tv can spark a good conversation/debate/insight. I wish more families were interested in creating moments together. My cousin and his family rarely spend time together. He's always flying off because of business. His wife is at work all day long and when she returns home she is so stressed out that she just wants to keep the kids busy and out of the way. Their two kids spend more time with their grandparents who pick them up after school, feed them and talk to them about things going on in their life.

at my childhood times, my family will have a barbecue with my mother's friend's family .it was a so happy time and every holiday no matter it's a big or a simple memorial day,my family will take me and my little sister go out having a picnic. as time goes,my family members went abroad and the happy times became a wonderful memories forever If i have a family myself ,i will do share this happiness with my families and i'm sure i will spend more times with my family.

Bonding moment with our family is very important and I take it regularly. I spent time playing with my only son (4 years old). Every Sunday we go to church, having lunch at the restaurant and go to grocery store together.

A bonding moment with our family is a very importent in our life. I missed this things so much. For my career purpose i am leaving 250 Km away form my home town. I have go to my home one time in a month for two days. In this days we all family member are discuss verius things of our family. In this day we take our meal together and share our fillings tell some about funny moment. In my view Bonding is very important in a family.

in my family we make sure we eat meals together. we talk a lot during meals. another bonding activity we do is we go out of town to roadtrips. we do that every year. going to a different place and experiencing these places together somehow bonds us.

This gets harder as my kids get older. They dont always want to be with their mom. My kids are 16 and 18 years of age. I usually plan quick getaways where they have to be with me, shopping days (one kid at a time so we can talk to each other without interruptions) dinner out with both or one at a time. I find myself watching MTV shows with them as well as cartoons and reality shows. You do what you have to do to stay in tune with them.

We usually go to the mall or have lunch/dinner outside. However, I don`t join them too often because we can`t leave my grandma alone, except if my aunt stays for 2 days. Or we can watch TV together, especially for the World Cup moments...it is nice to watch soccer together, especially, we have an 11 year-old boy who keeps asking ( my nephew).He is so cute and funny, well, sometimes annoying too:)

Sunday during lunch time is our bonding moment with our family. I think that's what we do in both sides of the family since I already have in-laws. There are also time when we celebrate birthdays that we get to bond with each other. With my family in my hometown, we bond with each other when we go home there and we always eat together as a family and my mom would prepare something good.

yeah..we always spend a lot of time together..my family consist of 6 members which i'm the only girl.we like to hangout together and today,we watched new movies and talk a lot..actually our bond as a family is quite strong....we i hope that we can keep that way forever..till all of us grown up..well,i do think we can do anything..almost anything together and we enjoy it..

I always spend time to my family especially to my son every morning we walk around to have some exercise. and every time when his father goes home after work we bond to each other like watching a television and we always have our dinner together. every night before we sleep we talk about what happen the whole day through of what happen. Every Sunday we make sure to go to church and after that we eat to our favorite restaurant.and sometimes we visit my mother in law.
