No time to be a family – except on vacation

Asst Prof Sin Harng Luh from the Dept of Geography at NUS Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences discussed the reasons why vacations seem so important to the modern family, one of which is a rare opportunity to have protected time from work and school where parents can spend with their children. She also shared that the best family bonding time is not about the most expensive destinations or photogenic activities, but simply time spent doing mundane, seemingly irrelevant and unexciting things together.
