When my children were in elementary school I remember one evening for some strange reason our TV wouldn't work, no sound. As things were a little tough at that time we were unable to take it for repair. How weird no TV!
So trying to be creative, I had an idea of starting a game night. Every Wednesday evening after supper and when everything was cleaned up we all would gather round the table and to play a table game. It seemed quite unnatural at first but once we got into it, it became so much fun. We always made sure everyone participated, though that was the whole idea.
Why not try it? Pick one night of the week, turn everything off, some soft music in the background is okay, and everyone gather around the table and play a game. Of course, it doesn't have to be a board game, any game is fine. The idea is to keep it going every week at the same day and time.
It is great for family life today as you get to spend quality time with your loved ones and it is a time to laugh which is good for your body health. You may have a bit of a struggle getting everyone together for an hour or two at first but keep to a specific day and time each week and it will be so natural before you know it and everyone will thank you for it.
Guess what? Well, after about a month we took the TV for repair. Would you like to know why it wouldn't work? My son apparently found a nail and put it in the little hole where earplugs would go. That's why no sound would come out.
Sure was a good thing to happen though, that quality time is so important in family life today.
