8 Super Habits of Happy Families
5. Express your gratitude
Saying ‘thank you’ for what you have been blessed with, should be made a ritual in the family for all. Devise creative methods for your kids to express their gratitude towards all those who have helped them better their lives. A small note of thanks can make you feel happy from within.
6. Adjust to circumstances
Not always will your circumstances be the same. Today your hubby might be at the zenith of his career but who knows what’s in store for tomorrow? Learn to adapt yourself to the needs of your family and teach the others to do the same. Adjustments, compromises and sacrifices are what sweeten your family life.
7. Always stand by your family
No matter how worse a situation it might be, if you stand together as a unit, it cannot harm you. Failures are part of life. But, never break down because life is throwing, one difficult situation after the other, at you. Always remember, ‘united we stand, divided we fall.’
8. Listen and share
Give a keen ear to all your family members, be it your little kids, your husband or your elderly parents. Listen to what they have to say. It’s not necessary to agree on everything. Sit together and chat freely. Share your life’s experiences with your kids so that they can carry forward this tradition. See how all the tensions and troubles are drained out of your system instantly!
