American families are busy and often find themselves overcommitted and exhausted. In their new book, Reclaiming Family Time: A Guide to Slowing Down and Savoring the Gift of One Another (Word Among Us Press, 2017), Boston College alumni Tim and Sue Muldoon offer a way to spend time, both individually and collectively, to build a strong foundation of lasting family relationships. The parents of three teenagers, the Muldoons take both a meditative and practical approach to this issue, examining the ways that contemporary American society tends to compromise family time and sharing basic principles that have served their family well. They are also authors of Six Sacred Rules for Families: A Spirituality for the Home and The Discerning Parent: An Ignatian Guide to Raising Your Teen.
