How To Have A Good Family Life by Idriswhite(m): 10:53am On Aug 18, 2013
Despite the perfect picture families that always seem to loom over us on television, posters and bill boards, there are many more complexities and dynamics to families than allsmiles and laughter. All families are different, and all families have their own issues, but with the right amount of work and determination, you can make your family life the very best it can be, by developing your relationships and learning more about yourself and your relatives. No one's family life is perfect; but you can make yours good, so why not?
1.Understand your family well. If you don't then there can be many misunderstandings and fights. Be with them whenever you can and get to know them better. A lot of families now don't get to know each other too well because they're too busy. Plan some family time, like, a movie, or a family game, or even as little as eating dinner together.
2. Respect your family. Your children, your wife/husband are now yours but remember at the end of the day they are also humans. They also have an opinion or suggestion. Sometimes it can be bad or good. Never be angry with someone's opinion, they have their opinions, and no one's perfect.
3Give time. No one wants to be ignored just for some meeting or work. Give time to each and every one of them so you can understand every individual properly and thiscan prevent any misunderstandings in the future.
4Treat everyone as equal. Whether its yourmaid or step child, they also deserve love and affection from you as you deserve from your wife/husband or from your own child. Treat everyone like you would want to be treated.
5 Never scream or shout at anyone. This can create hatred for you in their hearts. By simply making them understand can do a lot. Why waste energy when you can do it calmly.
Try not to fight with your siblings. Fighting can tear your relationship apart and you'll regret it when you get older. Treasure the time you have with your siblings, you can't get it back.
6. Never discriminate.
7. Learn to compromise. When you or someone else in your family wants the total opposite of each other, find a way to work it out to give you all what you want.
8Help each other. When you see your sibling or parent needs help, help them. Doing little things such as holding the door for them, or helping someone with homework.
9. Organizing surprise birthday parties and celebrating any individual's achievements can really help.
10. Avoid using offensive and abusive wordagainst each other.
11Sometimes teenagers can feel sad or lonely. First ask them about it and if they don't want to share then its OK. Its just hormones. If you think that something is really bad, ask their close friends and help him/her.
12. Never ever break any promise. This canhurt them or make them feel that you are a liar and every time will break promises.
13. Learn to forgive .
14. Don't scold too much. Scolding can be good for them but never over do.
15Make them realize in an easy way. If someone in your family has done something wrong or have betrayed your trust, make them realize their mistake in an easy way.
Compromise is the most valuable tool you have.
If the work is really important then try to make them understand and promise about next time.
Don't put everything down to hormones. If your teenager feels reluctant to talk to you, heor she may be upset about something or being bullied. Ask if everything is okay and win over their trust.
If your family hates each other try to put them in an situation were taking each other'shelp is important.
Never beat or raise your hand on anyone.
Family members are never entitled to be abusive. If they are, don't waste your time. They can't always be won over with patience and kindness. Stay out of toxic situations when you can.
