From packed schedules and work demands to the distractions of everyday life, finding meaningful time together as a family isn\u2019t always easy. According to new Ipsos research*, 79% of parents wish they were spending more quality time with their children. And with the holidays approaching, the stakes rise: 87% of parents say the season is an important time for activities the whole family can enjoy together.<\/p>\n

Wanting more time together is one thing; finding something everyone actually wants to do is another. More than half of parents (58%) say it\u2019s hard to find activities the whole family genuinely enjoys, and 80% want options that make it easy to spend time together at home. And parents also recognize their contribution to the challenge: 84% admit to at least sometimes multitasking on their devices while spending time with their families.<\/p>\n

For families looking for something fun to do together, getting started may be easier than they think. With Samsung Gaming Hub<\/a> on compatible Samsung Smart TVs<\/a>, the living room becomes a shared space to connect through play.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

“So often, everyone in the family is on a different screen, often together in the same room, yet completely consumed in their own activity,” said Marie Shanley, Digital Well-being Consultant. “Technology doesn’t have to be something that pulls families apart. When it gives us a reason to laugh, compete and participate together, it can actually become a tool for connection, turning screen time into time spent engaging with each other.”<\/p>\n
