A difference sort of family christmas

A recent survey suggested different sorts of family interactions could make us happier. Maybe our new years resolution could be to build a different structure for social interaction in 2013..? (maybe even widening the scope of what we currently call family)
  1. 26% of children aged 8-11 years old and nearly half of all parents said they would like to spend more time together.. 
  2. 81% of children aged 8-11 said they watched TV and DVDs with their parents in their free time 
  3. 69% go on activity trips and days out 
  4. 66% go to the park together 
  5. 61% said they went to the cinema together 
  6. 50% played sport 
  7.  52% went on walks
  8. only 2 per cent of 12-15 year olds want to spend less time with their parents 
According to parents: 
  1. 72% watched TV together. 
  2. 47% went to the park 
  3. 46% went on activity/day trips 
  4. 37% went on walks.
