Are we really spending quality time with our children through the stress and anxiety of our daily routine? I spend my most mornings screaming for my children to hurry-up so that they can catch the bus, then frantically getting myself off to work, only to rush home to make sure the children are fed, their homework is done and they are bathed by 8:00 p.m.

This week’s family tip - take your family for one game of bowling. On Friday, we went to North Bowl in Northern Liberties - Philadelphia. It was an entertaining way to spend an hour together and at $5.95 per person and $3.00 for shoe rental, the price was right too.
