Family bonding time is when you spend quality time with your loved ones doing things you enjoy. It might involve things like going on a picnic, watching a movie together, eating meals together, assisting one another, playing a game, and much more. It helps family members to communicate with one another, get to know and understand one another, feel connected, and form a closer tie.

the family will mirror how your children interact with individuals outside of
their immediate family circle.
