An emotional connection is formed
Talking to your family every day builds an emotional bond with them and gives you a sense of security. Sharing experiences, laughing together and facing difficulties together also strengthens the bond between family members. A supportive network is formed where you feel that people understand and love you.

Positive Communication
Spending time with family allows you to talk to them openly and honestly. Whether it is about the past or sharing your experiences, it increases trust among family members. It also has a positive impact on the relationships you form outside the home.
Gives strength to face challenges
When you are in trouble, the first person to stand with you is your family. With a family support system, you are able to face the challenges and ups and downs in your life. This helps you learn to support each other in difficult times and become each other's strength.

Memories are made
When you sit with your family and have a meal, go on a picnic or go on a trip, you get a chance to spend memorable moments with them. You remember these memories for a lifetime. This not only strengthens your family relationships but also gives you happiness and these memories can keep you happy for many years.

Mental and emotional health
Spending time with family also has a positive effect on your mental and emotional health. Eating meals together, going for a walk, or playing a sport reduces stress levels and makes you feel relaxed and happy. In September 2022, Wakefield Research conducted nationwide surveys for the American Heart Association's Healthy for GoodTM campaign. The majority (84%) of the 1,000 American adults surveyed said eating meals with family reduces their stress.
