Bonding is important for every family, and especially so for the families battling childhood cancer.

Family bonding time is when a family spends time together in a meaningful way. It’s a designated time where the plan is to interact with each other in a group activity or project. During this time, families improve their communication by learning how to listen and work together. Children and parents both can improve their relationships with each member of the family. The family bonds can be reinforced and mutual respect has an opportunity to flourish. During family bonding time, family members may learn to value one another and find common ground to share because of positive memories and shared interests.

Children's Cancer Network offers many opportunities for family bonding!

One of the best and most unique opportunities is Superhero Family Fort building! Who doesn’t like to build a fort?!
