WOULD YOU DARE? OPEN COMMUNICATION WITH THE FAMILY= NO SECRETS, NO LIES

In my own stand, open communication is needed in the family. Open communication is a good element in a family which in which the free exchange of ideas and objections are encouraged. In here, the exchange of opinion takes place.

            Open communication to the point of no more lies and no more secrets. In all people, your family should know you the most. You should be honest and loyal. No secrets hidden except to the fact that everyone has their own dark secret that only he/she knows. This will result to the trust each member, perform each other duties and responsibilities thoroughly and build blissful family. Through weekly family meeting, every family can maintain open communication. This will be the means to make sure that they will make sure that they will make time to discuss issues, recognize problems, acknowledge achievements and in general, stay connected.

            In my case, our family meeting occurs every dinner where all of us are present and we eat dinner together. We discussed each member’s problem and solve it by giving a hand. My father acknowledges one’s good work by rewarding him/her in a way of money or gifts. The most important is we laugh hard together.
