Although technology has enabled us to talk to people all over the world, in some ways it is harming our intimate family life. Closeness of families must develop at a very young age. The earlier you form a close bond with your children, the better your chances of having a close-knit family in the future. A good way to promote family closeness is by creating family traditions. Perhaps you can devote one day out of the year exclusively for your family. Try to play games and enjoy your time together. You could even play games where everyone will get a prize. Try playing something as simple as Bingo, where everyone will get a prize – and here's the best thing – make the prizes "coupons". For instance, "This coupon is good for one free trip to the mall" or "This coupon good for one picnic." This way of interacting and rewarding your kids will surely be appreciated and treasured by your children.
