• Meal Time: One of the easiest ways is to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner with your kids at least 2 -3 times a week. Talk to your kids about their day, what’s going on in school or even make plans on how to spend time together in the future.
• Reading Together: For younger kids it means you read a story to them for older kids have them read to you or read a chapter from your favorite book or a great article that you saw in the paper today
• Family Games: Whether it’s old fashion board games or even a video game that the whole family can play. It’s a great way to spend time together with your kids.
