Many people say how short the days are, how quickly time passes, and how the lack of time to see family and friends is becoming increasingly significant.
For the 2023-2024 Holiday break, we wish to take a moment to reflect, just like you, on the importance of taking time to reconnect with our families and friends.
Between rest and family preparations to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s Day, we will benefit from precious minutes, hours, and days to make up for some lost time. For parents, this will be an opportunity to wake up in the morning and do family activities with the children without the rush of the routine before going to work. A great opportunity, moreover, to set aside the routine to do what we all enjoy together and to discover or rediscover our many common points!
Here are the main reasons that fully justify this break and return to the family to spend quality time:
1. Strengthening bonds: Time spent together strengthens family ties, promoting a deeper emotional connection.
2. Emotional support: The family provides crucial emotional support, and quality time allows for sharing experiences and creating positive memories.
3. Communication: Spending time together facilitates communication, helping family members understand each other’s concerns and achievements. During this particular period, it will be time to understand specific needs, yours or those of your loved ones, that may have been less fulfilled in this routine. The lack of time did not always allow everyone to verbalize them…
4. Emotional stability: A robust family environment, particularly children, contributes to individuals’ emotional stability.
5. Development of values: Family moments allow teaching and reinforcing family values, contributing to moral and ethical development.
6. Stress reduction: Quality family time can serve as a relaxing break and help reduce daily stress.
7. Social support: The family offers a unique social support network, essential for facing life’s challenges and enabling young people to be more resilient.
Investing quality time in the family strengthens the healthy emotional and relational habits necessary to adapt to various life situations.
Let’s not neglect this unique and central ingredient: PLEASURE, which contributes to this foundation and allows the creation of beautiful memories!
For 2024, let’s wish to return to the essence of this family time on a… weekly basis!
Merry Christmas!
