Is Family Unity Important?

Family unity, also refer to family togetherness, if nurture positively have many benefits for every members in the family. A unity family leverages the time, enjoy them and overcome moments of crisis easily when they are together.

What is family togetherness?

Family UnityThe family unit is the creation of certain daily routines, traditions and celebrations that claim to own the family members, connecting them with their roots and add joy and fun to the routine.

This includes the time spent by members of the family together and creates a balance between family and individual needs, so that both can meet most of the time. This allows the members of the family to feel free to express their feelings, and also maintains ties with one another better.

No matter what the family does together, but to do something that is planned and enjoyed by all spontaneity, wit, humor and fun are the goals of a family.

Family time should have a balance between active and inactive time, physical and mental activities, at home and abroad, work and play.

The family time together may not easy, so it is especially important to learn to manage our time, schedules and prioritize the family to spend time together. Thus, we get the following benefits:

Knowing that parents are there for you through thick and thin makes children grow up with high self-esteem and sense of individuality.

Start from Young

To achieve family unity we must start when children are young. This is the time when they need a lot of care, and therefore spend most of the time with them. Some of the activities may include something related to drawing, coloring or being outdoors. Parents can take the opportunity to spend time with children doing homework. It is also important to spend time playing, talking, telling family stories, view photos and videos to rekindle family bonding. Read more on family bonding activities.

During adolescence, friends are a fundamental part. At this time, children tend to spend less time with parents as they enjoy activities with friends. As we age, the gap widens and more difficult it becomes to find some free time with children, so family unity must start when kids are small.

And speaking of adults, it sometimes seems that there are insufficient time in the day to do everything, but logically from the beginning of your relationship with your husband / wife should be clear that you have to prioritize what matters most in life: family and relationships.

Whatever the answer will be, family comes first.

Stay with your kids as much as you can. Get them a durable toy that will last for many years. I am sure there are lots of sweet memories to be remembered.

Welcome to Small House Big Kids Blog

This is my first post about family and kids. The first question I always ask myself, does it matter to write about happiness and dreadful events in life? What changes can it make to turn from black to white and dead to alive? But I feel like dropping it into words like a diary is fun and meaningful. Years later, these old posts will bring you deep memories and make you laugh while looking at the mirror observing the deep wrinkle lines on the face and ask myself – is it me?

First thing in mind, I want to find some toys for kids that can last for years. Nowadays, most of the electronic toys could not stand the test of time. After a few drops and smashing, parts started to fall apart. But after some research online I found the steel and wooden toys could last for years. Old-fashioned wooden push-pull toys and ride on toys with handle seem to be a good choice as the steel types are too heavy for small kids. Buying online is a breeze as there are many online merchants with deep discount and free shipping available. So I’ll consider buying one for the little one during the next festive season. One site I came across is this site. I’ve bookmarked it for future access.

wagon with canopy

I especially like the wagons with canopy. It always protect the kids from harmful sun rays and heat during afternoon ride. The price is right for me and it will last many years based on the solid design. There are many good reviews for the Radio Flyer model.

As I explore the video demonstration on kids’ wagon, I find the deluxe family wagon a good buy.

In this short video below, the demonstrator shows the few good features of the deluxe family wagon. The canopy can easily be removed anytime you wish.

  • Five seating options to configure based on your needs.
  • Two-seater wagon that can also be converted to one spacious seating or flatbed for the child to sleep.
  • Cup and storage area for storing kids’ stuff while riding.
  • It has durable tires for quiet ride.
  • Easy storage with fold-over handle.

I think it is worth to buy a more reliable and flexible wagon so I can change the configuration when needed. Although it is made of plastic it has years of good track record for durability.
