Essay 2 - What can a family do to foster a close family relationship?

        A family usually refers to a group of people who are living together or even live near to one another. They tend to share their food, money, personal essentials and many more with each other. When it comes to the members, it is either genetically related like siblings or legally bound by marriage. Nevertheless, family is something that we all need to encounter in whatever we do and whenever we go since blood is thicker than water. We certainly cannot run from it no matter how far we turn our back on family. So, a high level of understanding is needed in order to forge a positive and toxic-free relationship with the family members. With that being said, there are few ways a family can do to foster a close family relationship with one another.


 First thing first, a family is highly recommended to do everything together as a start to foster a close family relationship. This means that a family needs to include every member in everything they do. For instance, enjoy their meals like breakfast, lunch and dinner in one table while sharing the food. You know what they say, good food tastes better when shared. Not to mention that a family also could carry out the house chores together such as washing dishes, mopping the floor, doing the laundry and cooking together. It is definitely a good way for parents to guide their children to learn how to cooperate with other people and create a healthy environment in a family when everyone assists each other at the same time. A regular family meeting also is a great  idea to create a good family relationship. In family meetings, everyone is open to voice out their concern or opinion about anything for the sake of including everyone. Moreover, the family meetings lead a family to keep communicating and discussing with each other that eventually could bring the family into a deep understanding with everyone. Overall, doing something together with all of the family members is one of the ways to foster a close family relationship.  

 Second of all is that a family could keep an open minded mind and listen to the family members’ problems or hardships to foster a close family relationship. This usually involves the older members of the family when a younger member faces something unusual for him or her. As a person who is seen to have been experiencing a lot of things, they should share some wise advice and moderate actions to solve the problems. Along with that, they should spend some time and stop what they are doing despite how busy they are. Not only that, other family members could work together and guide them in going through the hardship. For example, someone has been dealing with cyberbullying for quite some time before he shares the problem with his family since it has been leading him towards excessive anxiety and depression. As responsible family members, they all get together and assist him on how to deal and react with the situation in the best way. Because they all are very good listeners and provide him with the advice that he needs, he now could lead his life calmly without worrying too much while using the Internet. In short, it is safe to say that a close family relationship could be nurtured if the family is a good listener and listens attentively to the others’ conflict. 


 Besides including everyone in everything they do and being good listeners, a family should take an interest in each member's lives as a way to form a close family relationship. While eating together for dinner, family should ask about what each other's been up to at that moment. As an example, parents could ask about their children’s development and observe their progress in studying to portray their concern towards their children. In addition, the family could make some time to go to each other’s sports events, drama performance, art showcase, graduation day and many more. By doing this, family members could express their love to one another that they always got each other’s back and kept supporting. Despite how busy they are,  they are always going to make some room for their beloved family member. This will definitely make them feel belonged and loved, eventually going to be the driving force behind obtaining close family relationships. In other words, close family relationships could be achieved by being concerned about each other and taking an interest in their lives. 

 In conclusion, there are many ways and approaches that a family could apply in daily life in order to mold a close family relationship. One of them is doing things together. Plus, a family can try to spend some time and be a good listener to one another. Close family relationships are possible by taking an interest in family members’ affairs. Without close family relationships, there is a high possibility that an individual will live in such a disaster and chaotic surroundings which prone one’s to be negative and indulge themselves in activities that are not sensible like taking drugs and gangsterism. So, it is important for each family to maintain good and close relationships between family members in order to live in peace and harmony.
