American Families Spend Just 37 Minutes Of Quality Time Together Per Day, Survey Finds
Five takeaways:
- A new study shows that American Families spend only 37 mins of quality time together per day, made more troubling by a recent survey that show that the average American adult spend up to three hours a day on social media.
- When asked which factors in their lives were to blame for this lack of family time, two-thirds of the parents surveyed identified their long work hours as the main culprit
- The survey showed that quality time did increase to about 2 hours and 40 minutes on weekend days.
- The survey also showed that spouses also struggle to enjoy time with one another throughout the year. More than half of the parents (54%) said they get at most 12 date nights to themselves a year, while 31% sometimes go more than a month without a night out.
- The holistic health benefits of allocating more time for quality family time is hugely important for personal happiness, child development, and overall family strength
