Strengthening Bonds at Home, Work and Play
At Home, individuals can take active steps to enrich family life. This year, children in preschools and primary schools will receive NFF craft kits through their schools, adding to FFL’s range of family bonding resources. This initiative aims to promote creativity and quality family time as children and their families work together to create personalized crafts at home. Couples can embark on a journey of self-discovery and relationship enhancement through Our Marriage Journey Quiz and marriage enrichment courses. Parents (and grandparents) on the other hand, can acquire valuable techniques for nurturing a positive home environment and strengthening parent-child bonds through Purposeful Play and Positive Parenting Programme (Triple P).
At Work, NFF advocates family-friendly workplaces by encouraging companies to organise FFL programmes, celebrate NFF through corporate family days and align family days with time off for employees to celebrate NFF festivities.
Recognising the importance of Play in strengthening family ties, NFF 2024 offers a variety of fun-filled activities and experiences for families to create lasting memories. With the new mega NFF Carnival at Singapore Expo Hall 2, look forward to an array of free workshops, food trucks, family challenges, a lively bazar and many more!
