Seven Activities to Strengthen Parent-Child Relationship
Take a look at these activities that embody the essence and vibrancy of Family Day celebrations. These are some of the coolest ways to beat the heat with fun.
1. Cooking and Eating Together
Imagine those good old vacation days when you would wake up to the aroma of Malpuas and you would simply run to the kitchen to eat them fresh (only for maa to tell you off to brush your teeth first!)
Besides eating, preparing a delicious meal together can be an exciting family bonding activity. You can try out some family recipes and let those delicacies tingle your taste buds while you chit-chat over meals.

2. Movie Night
Transform your living room into a cinema by setting up a cosy seating area with blankets, throw pillows, etc. Choose a movie that all of you can enjoy together and let the fun begin. Make sure that the popcorn supply doesn’t fall short! A movie night with comfy pyjamas and your kid’s favourite snacks feels as dreamy as it sounds!
3. Story Time
Story Time works like magic to bring families closer and whisk them away into a world of fantasy and dreams. The entire family can gather around a campfire or simply snuggle up together and share interesting stories. From fairy tales to thrilling adventures, you can choose any genre that appeals to your interests and imagination.
4. Picnic Time
No matter how much technology advances and YouTube comes up with new and exciting series, the charm of picnics can never ebb. Pack a basket full of goodies and go down to the nearest park. You can play outdoor games, catch a shut eye under the shade of a tree and enjoy some homemade snacks as you all unwind and connect with nature.
