Once the holidays are over, it can be hard to get in some family time. School has started back up, you’re back to work, and everyone’s busy doing their own thing. Even though you’re home more often, it can still be hard to get everyone together. Sometimes you can get everyone to sit down for family dinner, but it seems to be a rush to see who can finish their food first and get back to staring at a screen. Start a new family tradition by moving away from the dinner table and using a hot tub for family time.
Get some off-screen quality time.
As anyone with or without kids knows, it can be hard to get some quality family time without some sort of screen being involved. Even a “no phone” dinner can be interrupted by sneaking glances or the rush to get back to the screen.
With a hot tub, you don’t have to worry about the distraction of electronics. Kids and adults alike love spending time in the water, which makes it the ideal space for quality family time. The threat of water to phones will keep them put away, and the relaxation of being in a hot tub will keep your loved ones from rushing through the needed time together.
The distraction-free environment of a hot tub can help your family connect. Start a new family tradition and share your experiences from the day or week during your family time in the hot tub. It can be hard to get everyone to sit down and play a game together. Use your hot tub time for this, too! You can even work together to create a new game or find creative ways to make your favorite games work in the water.
Remember to be careful when bringing very young children into a hot tub. Keep the temperature around 98 degrees and limit their time, keeping their shoulders and chest out of the water. Be sure to consult your pediatrician for the best advice before letting your young child use the hot tub.
Get health benefits for all ages.
What could be better than your family receiving health benefits while spending quality time together? Hot tubs have health benefits for all ages. Do you have teenagers who play sports or are stressed navigating school during a pandemic? Hot tubs can help with both of those! The hot water from a hot tub helps restore muscles after exercise and relieves pain from regular use and injuries. In addition, the relaxing effects of soaking in a hot tub helps soothe the brain — relieving stress and bringing a better night’s sleep.
