How To Establish The Close-knit Family

By Patricia West


A healthy family will bring out best qualities and characteristics in children. In contrast to this, parents who do not focus on the family, and who are more laid back may find that their kids are getting out of hand. It can lead to their children becoming aggressive or withdrawn. They may feel neglected or abandoned. This is why psychologists still believe in the close-knit family.

It is difficult to establish certain guidelines and stick to the basics because of the challenges that you have to face on a day to day basis. These days, children are more concerned with keeping up to date with their Facebook status. They need to find out what is happening on social media or making sure that they don't miss something on the television.

Spending time with the family has become difficult because of the media and technology that are combined into one's life. Parents are no longer at home taking care of kids, attending to their needs. Life has become a lot more stressful. Many parents have challenging careers. This may be something that need to do because it will help provide for their kids.

Instead of browsing the internet or having a look at the latest game, kids should be taken out for a walk in the forest or for a swim at the beach, for example. When the kids are together, give them some arts and crafts and crafts to get involved with. Parents need to get involved in their activities, instead of acting like a fly on the wall. This is how the family will develop a tighter connection.

Over the years, it has become the norm for families to drift apart because of the challenges that they are up against. Parents are tired when they get back from work. They will have something to eat in front of the television. Kids may be busy playing before going to bed, but parents may not be involved in the interaction which is important for the family to connect.

Parents will complain that they don't have time for their children because of their basic lifestyle. However, one may also feel differently after the child has left home and wished you had done something else. Organization is key here. Parents may both have busy careers. However, it is still possible to spend time with the kids over the weekend as a family.

Parents need to communicate with a child in the few spare moments that they have. This may be on the way back from play group. It can be silently using body language. One thinks that a basic thumbs up or a high five does not contribute, but this makes a child feel special, especially when it is coming from dad. Children also need encouragement, and this does not have to come in the form of a speech.

When there are small symptoms that there may be a problem, it is necessary to talk about the issue. Sometimes, you may need to talk to someone more professional. Many people will ignore this, and the family will drift further and further apart. Of course, this is unhealthy and further problems will develop. It can lead to rebellion, anger and even other psychological disorders.
