1. Building a successful family is like building a home. Both need a plan. A successful family based on unity and
love takes
careful planning, but it’s worth every moment. The best way to be organized as a family is to talk
together about family matters. By doing this, families enjoy a special closeness and stability.
Memories made
together during this time will bond and sustain your family through the years.
2. Family traditions promote feelings of warmth and unity. Trace your family tree and collect all the photographs of
your ancestors that you can find. Public libraries and bookstores have books on genealogy for you to get you started.
Compile a family oral history. Ask older relatives to talk about their parents and childhood and record their
comments. These stories contain a glimpse of the past that would be lost otherwise.
3. How much time should families spend together? That varies from family to family. Families
with young children
usually spend most of their time together. Families with teenagers may spend less time together because teens
naturally want to spend more time with their friends. Healthy families keep a good balance between ‘too much’ and
‘not enough’ time together. They spend enough time to satisfy all family members.
4. Strong families take time to talk to one another. They share their hopes and dreams, feelings and concerns. It
means laying aside personal views and really trying to understand the other person’s point of view.
This involves
listening beyond words to the meanings and feelings attached to them. A good listener can better understand and
respond to the needs and concerns of others if he or she cares about them.
5. Members of successful families feel they really belong in their family. They feel accepted for what they are and
promote one another’s self-esteem. They celebrate their victories and help each other learn from mistakes. However,
sometimes life gets rough and we need all the support we can get. A cheering word from a family member can
really come in handy. Put the words on sticky notes and stick them in places where they can be easily found.
6. Strong families develop predictable routines and rules that govern their everyday life.
Stable patterns empower a
family to deal with challenges inevitable in family life; without such patterns, chaos would result.
At the same time,
strong families adapt their relationships and family rules when the need arises. Since no family knows what
tomorrow will bring, being adaptive is a good trait for family members to develop.
7. Recent studies confirm the importance of love in families. Research shows that expressions of affection towards
children enhance their development. Strong families notice positive aspects of each member.
They notice the
talents, skills and achievements that make a person unique. They find ways to be positive even when another family
member makes a mistake and make a conscious effort to develop closeness and show love at home.
