Family Time<\/h1>\n

A\u00a0study suggests it takes six hours a week ‘family time’ a week to tame a teenager. Laura Donnelly<\/a>\u00a0reported in The telegraph that\u00a0research by the University of Toronto and Bowling Green State University in Ohio,\u00a0tracking 1,600 children,\u00a0“found six hours a week of “family time” made a significant difference to a teenager’s wellbeing and achievement. Time spent with parents was associated with lower rates of delinquent behaviour, with less drug and alcohol abuse, and higher academic grades.”<\/p>\n

This follows on from a study in 2012 that showed teenagers form closer bonds with the family when their fathers spend more time with them. That study<\/a>, of 647 U.S. households by Brigham Young University, concluded that when\u00a0fathers invested time in low-cost, home-based, spontaneous activities close to or in the home, the\u00a0activities helped build a happy family\u00a0foundation on which to build lasting relationships.<\/p>\n
