Board Games

A family fun of entertainment, board games are a great way to interact with your family.  Why do we feel like we need that?  As a family, we as parents would like to know what is going on with our children's life.  Sometimes we notice things but are afraid to ask or feel like it would work itself out.  As a family, we had made a promise to turn off the TV and play board games, Wii, or Xbox so we can have the bonding time together.  We enjoy the board games.  We have a wide selection of them, like dominoes, scrabble, all the way to puzzles.  By playing board games it has help the communication between the family members.  On some games, it can stir up conversations on things that you needed to ask your child.  This has opened some doors for us as parents.  It has also opened doors for our children to ask questions that have been weighing on them but was afraid to approach us.  I can remember playing board games with my parents and siblings when I was younger.  As of the today's world, I think we should play more board games so we can interact with our children and hear what is going on in their lives.  It seems to also help us grow when we take the time out to spend with our family.  We sometimes have a few that doesn't want to do it anymore but once they go ahead and participate, we are all laughing and having fun.  Board games are great invention to share with others.  You just never know what you would learn about people when you play board games.
