16.Trying to create a happy family atmosphere can sometimes feel like a challenge in today's world.Everyone's busy,technology seems to take over a lot of spare time,and many adults and children feel stressed.However,there are some steps you can take to keep your family happy in the modern world.Step1:Eat Dinner Together Daily
Take time out from your activities to eat dinner together as a family.Talk about your day,reconnect with one another,and discuss your future plans.It's a great way for parents and kids to stay involved in one another's lives.Step 2:Allow your Children to Have a Voice
Telling kids,"It's my way or the highway,"isn't likely to yield happy results.Obviously,parents need to be in charge and need to be strict with kids accordingly,but kids should have some right in the family.Listen to your children's concerns,allow your children to offer input,and be willing to admit when you're wrong.
Step 3:Establish Clear Rules
Happy families need clear rules about expectations and behaviors that will not be tolerated.It can be helpful to write out a list of rules and keep them displayed in the house.Create rules that emphasize the importance of treating one another with respect.Encourage every family member to participate in establishing the household rules.Step 4:Develop Family Traditions
Family traditions can help a family feel united.Traditions don't need to be reserved for holidays.Instead,you can create weekly or even daily family traditions.For example,make Sunday nights family game night and take turns picking out board games.Or make a tradition at bedtime where each family member talks about the highlight of their day.Creating such traditions will help your family stay connected.
