How To Build A Happy And Perfect Family
Building a happy family may be an aspiration of many people. But a happy family picture is more than just what we see in TV commercials and mass media. For you who are building your little family, consider some of the following happy family secrets:
Communication
Communication is an important factor for any relationship, especially family relationships. So, take time every day to exchange stories with your family members. At dinner is the best time to do this. Do not forget, at times like this gadgets like mobile phones and TVs should be turned off so as not to interfere with your interaction. In difficult times, communication will also help you and your family deal with it together.
Joint routine
Doing fun activities together on a regular basis will make the bond between family members stronger. For example, cycling together every Sunday morning, having dinner at a favorite restaurant once a month, or holiday together. These fun moments will be an unforgettable memory until adult childhood.
Balance family life and work
It is not easy to do, but it is important for your happy family. When spending time with family, forget your work for a moment. This will make your child feel prioritized, so they will feel comfortable and confident. Conversely, if you are always busy with work, they will feel that they are not as valuable as your work.
Take a joint decision
Children who are rather big you can invite to take family decisions with you and your partner. Start with simple decisions, such as defining family vacation destinations, restaurants to visit, cleaning schedules, etc. This makes every family member a part of the family and creates a sense of belonging that strengthens family ties. In addition, children who help determine family rules usually tend to follow the rules better, thus exercising their disciplinary stance.
Keep your relationship with your partner
Children learn many things from their parents. So if you want to teach a loving attitude to your child, there's no better way than to show it in your interactions with your partner. When you and your spouse differ, try not to fight in front of your child. And if your child sees your argument and your spouse, explain to your child that disagreements are natural and your argument and your spouse will not last in the long run.
Remember: no perfect family. Actually any thing you do for your family is to cultivate mutual support, loving, and respect between your family members. That's the basis of your happy family.
