Family togetherness

The family setting has changed drastically, I have noticed that less and less families sit at the dinner table together. There just is no more unity being established. I remember growing up watching leave it to Beaver and little house on the prairie, and thinking that is the way we all need to act.

Instead today the American family has grown to become very hard and cold. Some parents can't wait for their children to turn eighteen so they can throw them out of the house. I understand that some parents feel like they spent eighteen years struggling to care for their children and after that they should be able to be on there own, but what if staying home a few more years can drastically shape their lives?

The only way they can really feel the nurturing that they desperately need is for their parents not to make them feel that they are a burden. They also need to see there family get together and keep in touch often. Everyone should not be scattered across the four corners of the earth. This just does not set a good example for children to follow, and children live whatever they seen. They can also incorporate it into their lives later on in life. Parents need to spend several hours a day with their children so they do not feel left out.

It is important to remember that little things count. They love for you to just sit and read with them, brush their hair, play video games with them, watch cartoons with them, play outside with them, playing board games with them, or even just eat a burger with them. You will find that they will greatly appreciate these things, and that they will remember them the most.
