GREENSBORO, N.C. — Today is National Family Fun Day. When we think of family fun, we naturally think of parents and young children. But kids aren't the only ones who should enjoy activities with their parents.
Having fun can be an immediate stress reliever for parents and their children because you're not talking about adult stressors. When you're having fun, you're more relaxed and in the moment, which can bring out great laughs and good times.
When parents and their adult children unwind, relax, and enjoy each other's company, they tend to talk more, particularly about things they usually keep guarded. This can lead to feeling emotionally closer to each other and appreciating each other's perspectives. For example, it can be as simple as realizing they're more adaptable to new ideas than you thought.
The sky's the limit when it comes to fun activities for parents and their adult children. Try something you haven't before, a cooking class or a new activity like pickleball. Spending time together doesn't have to drain your wallet. It just has to be enjoyable for both of you.
