of communicating these days, from, text messages, email, phone, face to face, ect. Yet we find that their is no real communication between families.
What are some of the ways we can change this, especially since parents are holding 2 jobs and can never see their kids very much? Is their a way to create close communication in families now a days?

Yes, seems everyone is going in different directions at different times. I could only suggest working hard to find at least one time thru the week that everyone can sit down and be together for one meal.

Exactly,especialy for those both partents are working.Every day live in hectic life and never have enough time for kids.This is horrible...
I think no matter how busy as a parents have to take every apportunity to reach their kids.Such as dinner time or after dinner.Week end stay home with kids as much as possible to create better relationship and having face to face communication as well.Face to face communication is very important because by seeing each other from eyes to esyes during communication has huge impact in family relationship.Because they can physicaly feel your touch and emotion which means so much to them.They want to feel warmness from a real human been not the electronic communication which yo can't feel and see each other.
Other then face to face communication i couldn't think about any better way of communication.

I think the best way to go about this is to find a time of the day where everyone will be home to hang out or just sit down and talk to each other.

A good way is to eat together at night, then at least the family will have one time every day where they sit down togehter.

if you still eat at the dinner table together, have discussions there, ask how everyone is doing, if there is something on their mind that they would like to discuss etc. It is not easy if you are not used to it and it takes awhile before everyone will chip in, but if it is done in a comfortable support environment, and no, how could you do that, or you have no right to feel that way or how dare you say that to me, or why are you blaming me for this attitude it can encourage good communication.
