You may have noticed that if you see someone yawn, you feel an urge to yawn yourself. This is called contagious yawning. But a new study shows that rates of contagious yawning are higher near relatives, followed by close friends. The study suggests that yawning may be a way to empathize with others by showing you are feeling the same way they are feeling.

i think that families start to yawn alot because their near each other to much so it gets boring after awhile and you feel like the kids want to go and play with their frends , but the parents want to go on their phones and talk to
their frends.
