Games That Foster Family Bonding

Teaching your children respect for their family members—and others in general—is an important step in forging strong family bonds. To do this, engage in a game of show and tell, says Paul LeBuffe, director at Devereux Center for Resilient Children in Villanova, Pa. To play, let family members take turns sharing a story from their own childhood, a favorite family tradition or their favorite song. Hearing these tales allows other family members to learn more about one another and sets the stage for appreciation.
