    Eating dinner together allows them to see each other face to face and is able to say what is on their mind. When playing the instruments together they are able to share experiences about their past.

    Family bonding time and spending time with their children is important as the father wants the child back home when he is early too and they eat dinner together.

The narrator and father connect through volunteering; reading to the younger siblings nurtures bonds. They do acts of appreciation like the mother buying treats which shows that they love one another. Key values that they showed were family bonding, helping others, and appreciation. The family could also plan regular quality time, encourage open communication, and support each other's interests to further strengthen relationships. In this way, emotional connections will be deeper, and the family will be closer and more supportive of each other

  • The author and the father sometimes chitchats with one another. The author and the father also volunteered together. Sometimes, the author and his/her brothers play together and when they are well-behaved, the author will try to read to them. Sometimes author helps mother and in return, mother gifts her things.

  • The author and father will get to know one another better whether is it author's school life or father's work life. Author helps mother. Authors and brother get to play together and have fun.

  • Maybe instead of just author and father volunteering maybe include mother and brothers.

The father and the author also recently started volunteering at a literacy group in the neighbourhood, conducting classes for children in the neighbourhood who might need more help with

    reading.

  • It makes the author feel happy to be doing these activities with his father.

  • The one thing important to the family is doing activities together and being able to catch up on the work that their family members have done.

  • some activities the family members did together are eating dinner together, the dad cooks meals with the author

  • it helped to develop relationships as they spend time together. for example, in scenario A, when the mum senses author's frustration, the mum would sit by the author's side and share her experiences. this would make their relationship closer as they are able to empathize and understand each other's point of view.

  • the people in the family only focuses on their own lives and their specific roles in their family. thus, they hardly spend time together

  • the author's siblings could come home earlier to help prepare dinner which could possibly strengthen their relationship as the author won't feel like its unfair or their parents are being bias to the author.
