Happy children means happy family

Lets talk about happiness among the children. This can be seen if you have two or more children.
Make sure there is plenty of communication and interaction between the children. It is wonderful to see them together, having discussions, fun and laughter. Today, with the introduction of the computer, it's good to see them playing games together. This enriches the relationship between the children and prepares for closeness when they are adults. This is of utmost importance in order to have a close-knit and a happy family.

Respect within the Family

Who respects who, you may ask. Isn't respect an important element in the family?
Look at the parents first. They are the man and wife to each other and the father and mother to their children. The husband must respect his wife and vice versa. This respect between the parents must be seen by their children.
Does it stop here?

No, it goes down further than that. The parents must pass down this respect to their children, that is, they in turn must respect their children.
Isn't this the other way round?
No, simply because, the children are their own flesh and blood. Therefore, the parents must respect their children. When the children feel and see this respect, they in turn will show respect for the parents.

What will be the end result? A CLOSE KNIT FAMILY!.

Family Happiness in the Family Haven

Happiness! That is what every family should strive for.
Happiness flows down to the children from parents who love each other and in themselves are happy as a loving couple. The love of the parents for each other should be seen by their children. This in turn showers love for each other in the family. Hence a happy family is born. Love for each other in the family brings blessings.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IN THE FAMILY HAVEN

Hi Families in Haven

Activities! Yes, this is what is in my mind the whole day today. I was out in the city today, doing a bit of shopping in one of the supermarkets. Do you know what caught my attention the most? There were a few families, together discussing what to buy, browsing together, making a little bit of jokes here and there at some of the items. Yes! this is it, I said to myself. Activities, Family activities is the keyword. Simple activities like shopping together. You do not have to plan such big outings. Just a simple one will do. The most important tip here is togetherness.

What makes families different

What is being said here could be hypothetical or factual.

Come, look at your own families first. Why is my family's behavior different from my neighbor's. The children treat their parents in a different way from the way my kids treat us. Why is this so? Have you all noticed this? If you have not, try to do a study of your own neighborhood, if that is feasible.

Is it because I brought up my kids differently. There maybe a degree of truth here.

Lets study different family make-ups.

Firstly, a family where the parents are elderly and the children are still in the growing stage.

Secondly, a family where the parents are elderly and the children have all grown up, matured and working.

Thirdly, a family where the parents are young and the children are still in the growing stage.

Lastly, a family where the parents are young and the children have all grown up and working.

The above family types will have their own advantages as well as disadvantages.

Study the above and do a simple analysis.

Tips for a close-knit family

Parents, I am sure you would all agree that it is not easy to have a perfect family.
So, what do you think we should do ?

Communicate! Yes, communication is so important in a family. This is missing in many families. Could be on of the main problem that leads to families not being close.
So what do we do?
Very simple. Just sit down with your whole family and talk and talk and laugh and laugh.
