3. Commit to speaking more kindly to one another. While ev eryone gets angry, it shouldn’t be acceptable for members of a family to scream at each other on a regular basis, call each other names, say hurtful phrases like “I hate you!” or use profanity towards one another. Family members who respect each other live much more peacefully together. If you wouldn’t talk to your friends a certain way, you shouldn’t talk to your family members that way. So pause, take a breath, and think before you speak.

4. Reserve dinner time as sacred family time. Sit down each night together and share stories of your day. Pray together at the din ner table and thank God for that day’s blessings. This will open up conversation and establish positive attitudes as you spend some time together reflecting on the day. Share the dinner chores as a family so that everyone has a role in preparation or clean up. It may sound all Ozzie & Harriet, but families are closer when they covet each other’s presence.

5. Laugh more, reduce stress, and increase joy. All relationships, whether friends, spouses, or parents and children, need fun and enjoy ment to thrive. There may be plenty of pain in this world, but there’s also a great deal of humor to be found in day-to-day circumstances. Help your kids discover the inner joy that will sustain them through tough times by teaching them to find humor in their everyday lives. Plan fun activities that build memories they will cherish - family games and traditions, pizza night, bedtime rituals - anything that will bring fun and laughter to your home. And just as importantly, quit stressing. Show your kids that gratitude and acceptance are two of the most freeing attitudes they can embody.
