Little change for strengthen the bond

Family is the most important thing for all of us and at any cost, we try to protect our family and maybe because of that it says that blood is thicker than water and the bonding between family members is quite strong compared to the other family members. We start to grow in a family, and we spend time with family members and learn most of the things from them and naturally the bond is supposed to be strong which is natural and the bonding supposed to be difficult to shake. I would believe that if it were a decade ago but now, I don’t think the same.

At the present time the bond between family members is not so strong as it is supposed to be. Compared to past the bond is very weak between family members. Sometimes I feel the bonding between family members is not so identical compared to the bonding with outsiders. The family members just get extra advantage as they stay close. I just feel at the present time the strength of a bond between family members is not so strong as it was in the past.

Everyone is busy with the technological devices in this digital world and people are so obsessed with technological devices that communication between family members has decreased a lot. Suppose there are 5 or 6 family members in a single room but the communication between them is almost near to 0 because everyone is busy with their smartphone or computer which is a very common scenario of most families. Technological devices indeed helped us to stay connected with those people who are living very far from us, but it created walls between those people who are staying close to us like family members. We cannot blame technology for it because we are the ones who are controlling it and we are responsible for such a situation.

So, what can be done to strengthen the bond between family members. We just need to change few habits which can be enough to make the bonding between family members very strong. It’s not so difficult if we have such a mindset. I think during the time of growing phase of a child, parents should not introduce smartphones to their child just to keep the child busy. Parents should spend quality time with their children rather than spending their time on their smartphone. I know it’s not possible completely, but they can at least control the time when children are allowed to use smartphone. I believe that such a thing will give a solid foundation to the child with proper mental growth and the bond between child and parents will be strong and more friendly.

After going up due to various reasons interactions between family members may decrease it may affect the bonding between them. Misunderstanding and miscommunication are not avoidable all the time and to solve communication is very important. We are making ourselves so busy with other work that we rarely manage time and lack of communication, the bond between family members starts to be weak. Communication is the key. So, I think having breakfast and dinner together which family members is something which can be added as a family rule and it will help to meet with other family members and it will be reason for proper communication with family members. It’s a very simple thing but such a thing is very powerful to make the bond stronger between family members.
