Importance of Strong Family Relationships

• A family has a big role in our children, it nurtures our mental growth,
well-being, and stability which depend on our family.
• A family makes all its members feel safe and connected.
• It provides us with the comfort of having people by our side during
difficult situations and gives hands to them to manage stress.
• A family allows us to feel safe, secure or protected, accepted and loved
despite our shortcomings.
• Family is the basic unit that teaches children about relationships.
Children brought up in a healthy family will be able to form better bonds
outside their homes.
• Strong relationships teach us how to build trust in others as family
members share both good and bad times.
• Conflicts in the family teach children a respectful way to resolve
problems in the future.
• A strong family is always supportive to all family members especially in
decision-making

Ways to Build Strong Family Relationships

Try to look at your family pictures or just try to imagine the whole photo of
your family. What do you see? What can you say about yourself and other
members? By the way, behind that picture or smile, sometimes sadness and
laughter are involved. However, these are the responsibilities that help to
strengthen your family relationships:
• Cooperation makes sharing in order to finish all the tasks. It also
means giving up something you want if someone else’s need is more
urgent. Cooperation shows family unity.
• Communication plays a vital role in making family relationships open
and smooth. It is just talking and listening to them and shows interest
with enough time in expressing ideas and emotions with them. A family
must have enough time to talk to one another.
• Trust creates one’s self-confidence and sense of security. They are free
to share their problems how serious it is and nothing secrets will
happen. You can depend on one another whenever needed and that is
what we call trust.
• Responsibility makes people decide what will be right and wrong for
decision-making. It tends individuals to become more dependable and
able to do their promises.
• Consideration and respect develop feelings of worth and
thoughtfulness. It shows regard to others by respect and considering
the rights of others.

 • Caring feels people that they are loved. It keeps the family feeling good
about themselves which develops self-esteem. It is also a nourishing
love.
