The importance of communication
Good communication is an important part of maintaining healthy family relationships. For sure, all families go through moments of ups and downs, but adequate communication can make dealing with conflicts a lot easier, not to mention it’s potential in building a stronger bond with each other. Boca Raton Assisted Living has learned a few tricks over the years in helping its residents start and maintain upright communication with their families. In light of that, here are some measures you can take to improve the quality of the communication between you and your family.
Schedule Family Time
You can give without loving but you can’t love without giving. Giving entails giving your time as well. If necessary, you may remove some already planned activities in your life to make room for family bonding. To not waste this effort, gather feedback you’re your family so you may reach a consensus when choosing what activities, you and your family should do and when you guys should do them. A no brainer family time is eating together, you should try it out.
Isolate every once in a while
While group settings are advisable for good reasons, setting aside isolated sessions with you and other members of your family is good as well. More often than not, people tend to be more comfortable talking about things that are important to them in one-on-one settings. In selecting the place for such sessions, choose ones that are important to them, this helps them feel more at ease. Once you and your family members are finally sown to talking, ask open-ended questions. This will help you in keeping your loved one engaged throughout the conversation. Of course, keep things organic and let conversational sparks occur naturally.
Be an Active Listener
Always remember that communication is a two-way platform. Don’t do all the talking, be sensible enough to listen as well. What listening does is that it shows your family that you genuinely care for them. As a result, they will also reciprocate your efforts. In addition to that, listening also helps you respond better to their needs. This is so because you can not help somebody if you don’t even know how to; arguably the best way of knowing is through listening. Also, listening is an unspoken gesture of showing kindness and appreciation.
