How to improve the family relationship

It is essential that family members spend time together. Communication is the basis for building a healthy family relationship and strengthening emotional ties

It is the main and most important social circle that a person can have. Therefore, it is essential to take care of the family relationship as it is: a treasure . Something that we always have by our side, but that we sometimes neglect.

It is essential to dedicate a part of our time to our family, to carry out activities that encourage good coexistence  and, in addition, achieve a healthy emotional and cognitive development.

It is not a minor issue, on the contrary. Having a good relationship with our brothers and fathers strengthens affective bonds and, above all, improves the self-esteem of family members.

Family relationships

In order to talk about family relationships, one must consider what kind of link exists between its members.  Sometimes they are strong links, able to withstand problems and surges. But sometimes those ties are so weak that they can be broken at the slightest difficulty.

At present it is not difficult to find families with detachment . These are families where none of their members is affected by what the other does or is not interested if what they do is right or wrong.

This happens, in the great majority of cases, because it is what they have lived from generation to generation , that is, it is transmitted from parents to children. Therefore, it is very common to hear inside these homes: "Let him touch me as he touched me".

This does not mean that you can not do anything for them, just enough that a member of the family wants to break those chains or ties with which they have lived all their lives. Everything can work , maybe it takes a lot of effort, but with tenacity you can get to improve that relationship as a family.

Improve the family relationship

There are many ways to improve that relationship as a family. A first step can be something as simple as being interested in what our parents , our brothers, our grandparents do . And do it remembering that they deserve all the respect in the world, even if you do not share their way of thinking.

Strengthen ties

As difficult as the day may have been, we all want to go to rest with some words of affection . Remind your children every day, your partner, your parents, how much they are worth to you, how much you love them.

Maybe you have never told them that you love them , then it is time to encourage them to do it, you will realize the positive effect they have on your life. A few words , some small gestures, help to strengthen bonds and improve the self-esteem of those who receive this sample of selfless love.

And another very important aspect: you have to help each other , in order to achieve more time together to foster that good relationship that everyone is looking for. The family should always be a fundamental pillar, a strong support that accompanies us throughout life.

Activities together to strengthen the family relationship

You have to find time to share . It may seem complicated at a time when the rush seems to dominate everything, but sometimes only a few minutes can mean a lot. Try to do activities like these:

• Make family games . For example, table games help to have a nice time.
• To practice some sport in family (for example soccer or basketball) or to realize exercises together .
• Try to eat at the same time , this way you will share more time around a delicious dish of food.
• Carry out household chores in company.
• Watch a movie together.

And, in addition to all this, it is convenient to celebrate achievements , whether family or individual, a means of motivating each other to achieve goals. It is always very positive to congratulate and highlight those good things that fill us with satisfaction.

One last piece of advice: when there is a discussion , avoid alterations , do not allow the voice to be raised, as this can lead to the pronouncement of bad words that will complicate the situation. Remember: "Love and communication are the basis of a healthy coexistence."
