HOW TO BUILD A HAPPY FAMILY

1


HAVE FAMILY VALUES


This is going to be different for every home. This is what makes you happy and tick as a family. Maybe it is game night, or watching a movie together. Our family loves sports; therefore, we enjoy going to practice and ball games together. It's great to see those you love having fun and being a part of it.


2


SET RULES


Children, as well as adults, need to know what their part is in the family. This includes keeping rooms clean, picking up and helping with laundry, and maybe setting the table. Rules of course will change as the family grows or the children age, but keeping them grounded will make for a happy family.


3


LEARN TO LEAN ON EACHOTHER


Talk about your day and ask questions. When you play a role in each persons daily activity, they learn they can come to you when they have a problem. It is a great feeling knowing that your spouse and children trust you enough to confide in you.


4


TAKE TIME FOR A BREAK


This is very important to a happy family. We spend so much time working and at school that we all time together. Do things like watch a move or hang out at the park for a picnic. It doesn't have to be a costly activity, just something you do together.
