As your brood get older and like flexing their independence muscles, it can be hard to let go of the quality family time that you have built up over the years. Family meals may be drifting further and further apart as your kids develop busier social calendars than you. You don’t have to succumb to the possibility that your quality family moments are gone forever. You just might need to plan them a little more. While they might not be as plentiful, the memories that you create as a family can still be magical. 

Take a look at these three simple ways to enhance your family’s moments together.

Go Away Together
There’s nothing better than venturing off on a trip. This could be a simple road trip to visit relatives or it might be a more extended vacation to experience new things together. If you aren’t sure how best to cater for everyone’s wants and needs on a holiday, why not consider heading off on a vacation that will see every family member becoming nostalgic and reclaiming their youth. Keep your eyes peeled for discount Disneyland tickets and think about spending some time with Mickey and Pluto. The youngest kids will adore the fun filled trip, and their older siblings will enjoy reminiscing about their favorite Disney characters. Seeing your kids with their heads out of their tablet screens will remind you just how innocent and childlike they really are.

Banish The Screens
It’s a great idea to have an amnesty on screens within the home for a week. Don’t demand that your kids abide by the rule of no tablets, laptops or smartphones, only for them to see you sneakily scrolling through your Facebook feed. You need to be in this together so announce it over dinner and say that every person in the household will be sticking to it, just for a week. This will be tough for your little cherubs to begin with, but as the days go on, they will see the power of conversation. You need to ensure that you have activities planned for them otherwise they will get bored and yearn for their tablet. Bake, go shopping, head to the park, go to a funfair and check out the movies together as a family. With any luck, when the amnesty comes to an end, your brood will be more willing to put the laptop down to spend time together as a family without screens.

Get Outdoors
Being outside is the best way to spend quality family time together. While it may need more pre-planning, you can head to the park for a picnic at the weekend, invite extended family over for a barbecue, or head to the beach for a fun day out if you live near one. Don’t expect your kids to say no in favor of their social media feeds. You’ll be surprised at how much your kids want to spend time with you. Make it a regular event and set aside one weekend a month for quality family time.

Being together as a family gets tougher as your little darlings get older. However, follow this guide, and you can enhance the memory making times you spend together.
