Movie night brings your family together, thereby prompting emotional bonding. That emotional bonding, in turn, opens the door to actual communication. Your children will feel much more inclined to open up to you about what is going on at school or after school or with their friends and, later, their significant others.
Good communication between parents and the children leads to strong closeness among them, especially the children. They won't hid anything from their parents.... But so many parents fail to notice this....
Sadly this is true that everything else for some parents takes priority over the children who just wanna be loved and appreciated
