Having children is one of the greatest joys of life, but before you know it they will be all grown up, and you will be wondering where the time has gone. Due to this, it is so important that you make the most of your time together and do things that will help preserve the close bond you have with one another. If you make an effort to put in the time and energy when your children are young to do fun things with one another, then even when they grow up and move out, you will have a strong connection and be able to preserve your relationship for years to come.
