Building a Happy Family
Effective communication is the cornerstone of every happy
family in that it can enhance understanding of thoughts and
feelings of family members as well as avoid unnecessary
conflicts, arguments and misunderstandings. Home is where
the heart is. To create a positive atmosphere at home, below are
some tips you can practise everyday in building a happy family:
Express your Love directly
Feel love with your heart and respond proactively. A simple hug
or a bowl of hot soup can be a simple way to express your love.
Mutual Appreciation
Live your days with a grateful heart. Appreciate the efforts and
things your family has done for you.
Use Technology wisely
With the increasing popularity of smart phones and group chats
for communication, consider to set up a group chat amongst
family members so as to enhance communication and stay
connected with them.
Understand your love language and that of your family members
Everyone has their own ways of feeling and expressing love.
Understand the love language of your family members to make
sure you get your love and concern across more effectively.
Organize family gathering regularly
Remember to organize family gatherings regularly, e.g. hiking,
travelling, concerts or movies together. These are definitely
good ways to create shared experience, enhance family fun and
cohesiveness.
