Is your home set-up for communication?

Many homes in western countries are designed for individual enjoyment. Nothing wrong with that. It's great to have places and spaces to go to as individual. However we need to be careful not to put too much space between family so that people rarely meet or interact. TV's and computers in bedrooms may prevent arguments but they also keep people separate.

Take some time to check out how often kids interact with you and each other. If they spend most of their time apart and little time together maybe it is worth taking a second look at how your home is set up.
