How To Establish The Close-knit Family

By Patricia West


Everyone family wants to be able to connect with one another, so that they are in a healthy environment. It is important that you can relate well to your kids. You need to earn their respect. You need to have a home where you enjoy one another's company. This is the close-knit family which one has lost over the decades.

Parents who incorporate their children into their lives will find that they will develop a deeper relationship with them. However, it means that they have to work hard on these areas. The family is challenged with a lot of interference from the outside world which makes it difficult to have a deeper connection with the family.

It can include video games, the internet and other forms of technology. Kids are curious from a young age, and manufactures draw children to the digital screen, which can be addictive. Parents may find it challenging to set certain rules and regulations. However, the balance between love and discipline results in self respect. Children will learn to have a greater set of morals.

Women also have the need to have a career and establish themselves in this area. It can be difficult to find a job when your children have left home and you have just given your attention to them over the years. This is something to take into consideration. There are many areas in which needs to be balanced. One needs to be organized and prepared for the various stages that children go through.

When kids come from a family like this, they feel neglected and abandoned. They may turn to drugs and alcohol. It doesn't take a lot of effort to encourage your child when he or she has done a good job at washing the dishes. It can do wonders when you praise your child after he or she brings home an art project.

They say the kitchen is the heart of the home. The way the home is designed also makes a big difference. If this is designed in such a way which is not appropriate for kids, there will be a bad energy in the home. One wants something that is easy to live in and makes you feel relaxed. One wants to feel that this is your own personal space, and that you are not living in a hotel.

This is where you have to start from day one. The problem will begin with communication. Nine out of ten families collapse because of a breakdown in communication. Different styles of communication are involved. Some people are more extroverted. Others will bottle up their emotions. There are more people involved in a family unit, and one needs to watch out for various signs of chaos.

The problem will start when families are not coping, and won't admit it. They may be bottling something up inside, or they will keep on saying that it is only temporary.
