3. Laugh together.
4. Develop healthy communication styles.
5. Forgive and learn from each other’s mistakes.
A FEW TOOLS & TECHNIQUES
When you set aside special time for family fun and activities, you are demonstrating not only
that you value the family as a whole, but also that you value them individually as well. There
is no greater gift that you can give your family—and no better way to strengthen your family
bonds—than by making your family a priority.
As a youngster, you can express your love and respect to your family members by:
1. Making a promise to yourself that you will always value and respect all members of your family.
2. Helping family members or expressing gratitude towards them.
3. Doing little chores at home like keeping one’s room clean.
4. Expressing sincere appreciation to your parents.
5. Being a good listening board and just being there unconditionally.
