Most families start out close\u2014almost by definition. Kids snuggle up to their parents for comfort, for sleep, or just to be carried from one place to another. But as kids get older, faster, and busier\u2014and as interests multiply and diverge\u2014it can feel hard to connect even with the people who live in the rooms right down the hall from us. Family time is the time we take to stay close to each other, and it\u2019s important. What we \u505a<\/em> during family time is another question.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Kids, parents\u2014we all love what we can do and see on our screens, whether that\u2019s a phone, a tablet, a video game console, or just the TV. We may even have things that we like to do or watch together. And that\u2019s fine. That\u2019s family time. But when we\u2019re watching our screens, we\u2019re not seeing\u2014and probably not hearing\u2014each other.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Here are some fun and rewarding ways to unplug with your family.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Make Dinner Together<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

Warm, homey, and delicious-smelling\u2014there\u2019s a reason the kitchen is such a popular gathering place<\/a>. When your family prepares and eats a meal together, you not only have plenty of time to share stories and laughs, but also the opportunity to share family recipes and traditions. What\u2019s the secret ingredient in your dad\u2019s turkey chili? How did your grandmother keep her oatmeal raisin cookies from sticking? After the meal, have everyone stick around to wash the dishes and clean up. Then celebrate with an after-dinner walk (see below).<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Go for a Walk<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

Getting outside, even for a short time, gets you away from the distractions and cares of everyday life and puts you in touch with the larger world. Sharing this experience with your family can make outdoor time even more enjoyable\u2014and meaningful. Learn what places in the neighborhood are special to the other members of your family. Tell stories about how things have changed. Say hello to the people you know along the way. If you\u2019re able to, leave all your phones and devices at home. Get lost, and find your way home<\/a> by starlight.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Play a Board Game<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

If the idea of walking and talking has certain members of your family rolling their eyes, suggest a family game night instead. Pop some popcorn, clear the dining room table, and settle down for a board game or several hands of cards. Looking for something beyond Candyland and Monopoly? Try some of these top-reviewed games.<\/a> Or if all you have is a deck of playing cards, try these card-game classics for kids<\/a> \u6216\u8005 people of all ages.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Tell Stories<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

With movies, TV shows, and YouTube to keep us constantly entertained, we may occasionally lose track of the fact that we have our own stories to tell. Whether we gather around a fire and tell ghost stories, or just sit around and tell funny stories of our childhoods, storytelling is one important way that we exercise our empathy and learn what makes other people tick. Need something to get the conversation going? Try a set of conversation-starting cards (or just make your own). Looking for story ideas? These folktale collections<\/a> draw from cultures around the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

These and other unplugged activities are not just great for strengthening family bonds. They also help to lower stress and improve child development<\/a>. And they\u2019re great for your family\u2019s physical and mental health too. Start out by setting aside one night each week. They\u2019ll soon be wondering why you don\u2019t do this kind of thing more often.<\/p>\n<\/div>
