2 Mins read
Strong family relationships aren’t automatically created, they need time and efforts of the members.

A family is understood as an integral homogenous unit of the larger social systems. In India, a family is the first line of defence for children. It plays an important role in providing stability and support at times of crisis. The members of the family become a source of nurturance, emotional bonding and socialisation. Hence having strong relations becomes necessary.

While we know the importance of family relations there may be some differences which are weakening the family bond. So how can you build strong family relations?

Try these ways to build a stronger bond with your family.

1. Learn to express yourself

The key to any strong relationship is communication. Always share your opinions and feelings with your family members. It will help you create a better understanding of each other. Discuss the pleasant as well as the unpleasant. It is necessary to communicate the feelings of hurt, resentment and anger so that misunderstandings can be avoided. Try resolving issues immediately instead of broadening conflicts.

Only when you are aware of the expectations can you be on the same page and avoid differences. Talking about expectations will also help in creating trust and feelings of closeness.

2. Reserve a Talk-it-out Time

Parents spend 60% of their income on their Children & 12% of their time!

Having family time to share your thoughts and feelings is very necessary. The best way to retain the trust and closeness among each other is by spending time. From the above statistics, you can conclude that this can create a huge gap between family members. Your efforts to make time for your family will hold importance to have healthy discussions. A healthy discussion will always help you arrive at mutual agreement hence, strengthen the family bond.

3. Make room for fun

Spend time having activities for bonding with family members. Celebrate festivals, birthdays or organise picnics and games. While celebrating the bond you share you would be building a deeper connection too. Positivity spreads as you would enjoy together. Such fun times or celebrations will result in becoming the cherishable memories.

4. Respect personal space

Eric Klinenberg, a sociologist at New York University, says, There is something very liberating for people about being on their own.”

Everyone needs some time alone. There is social anxiety about isolation which fails to appreciate the benefits solitude. But respecting privacy is one of the important things that build solid relationships. It helps you build trust and give an experience of freedom. Parents need to stop sneaking into teenagers’ rooms when they aren’t around. Alone time with parents can also help children feel special.

5. Share responsibilities

As a family together you all are dependent on each other. Being responsible shows the dependence and taking account of your actions. Simple things like making your own bed, keeping your things in the right place can ensure that the burden of chores is divided. You have to share responsibilities like a team.

6. Agree to disagree

Every member of the family is an independent individual. All have distinct personalities which therefore results in having different opinions. A certain level of disagreement is healthy as it brings up more ideas and suggestions to discuss. But this disagreement should be positively accepted. There should be an open minded approach and maintain mutual respect while expressing the disagreement.

Having strong family relations can be a great source for support. Do you need more personalised ways to build stronger family relations? Get your personalised plan for FREE by an expert here! Check them here!
