How to foster a positive family life

Every family is a world, all families have their own problems and we could say that there is no perfect family. However, it is the adults of the family who have to seek a peaceful coexistence based on respect. At present, where television became a member of our family and where consumerism invades our homes, it is of utmost importance to transmit to our children certain values ​​that will allow them to travel through life in the best possible way. Education begins at home, although educational institutions collaborate with this purpose. That is why, below, we will give you some recommendations to encourage a coexistence based on respect.

one

Limits. Many times it is difficult for us to put limits on our children for fear of getting angry with us. However, you must remember that this is our task as parents, we are responsible for putting those limits. Children must learn to accept a NO as an answer. Although at the beginning they will be angry with us, this will benefit them in the future.

Rights and obligations. Children have the right to play and do their own activities, but they also have certain obligations. Within these obligations are everyday activities such as going to school or helping with household chores. Little by little, they have to have responsibilities. As these responsibilities grow, they increase, but next to them is the benefit obtained for each achievement.

3

Respect. Open and clear communication is the basis of respect. Children should learn to speak without insulting and respecting all members of the family . In order for coexistence to prosper, it is essential that the problems are discussed and solved as soon as possible. Violent impulses such as slamming doors or throwing objects are not positive since they do not allow solving anything.

4

Time. Both parents and children should dedicate a moment of the day to be with the family . Although, many times the schedules of all are varied, it is important to try to find a moment to be together. For example, dinner is a good time to talk and share the experiences of the day. Try that at this time there are no interruptions like the TV or another distractor.

5

Overprotection Sometimes it happens that due to the overprotection that we give our children, they do not take care of their mistakes and we justify them. Always keeping in mind that our children are still children, it is important that they take responsibility for their mistakes so that they do not commit them again.

Complain. Carrying out a house and a family is not an easy task, but you should try to enjoy it to the fullest. Think that your home is something that they all built together thanks to the love and affection that they have. So, whenever you feel like complaining or you feel exhausted, think about everything you have achieved together and how nice it is to have a family like you have.

7

Delegate. The division of tasks is important. A single member of the family can not do everyone's work, so the delegation of tasks is essential. According to the age of each one of your children and the times they all count with, try to grant them tasks. That way you will not feel the only one who leads the house, because the home belongs to everyone and it is everyone's responsibility to carry it forward.

8

Affected. The demonstration of affection is fundamental for anyone, and more if those people are part of the family. Do not deprive yourself of showing them how much you love them and how important they are to you. Try to recognize them when they do something right and congratulate them on their achievements. Positive stimulation is essential to grow up in a happy home.
