Strong families can work together to establish their way of life, allowing children to have a voice in decision making and enforcing rules. However, in the initial stages and in times of crisis, adult family members must get the family to work together. Members of strong families show and talk about their appreciation for one another. Along with our need for love, our most important human need is the need for appreciation.

You can have a better relationship with your family by talking to them, by agreeing with both parties to sit down and talk about things that both of the parties dont agree with

You can have a better relationship with your family by having dinner together, talking to each other often (Open communication), tell them you love them/how much they mean to you and various doing activities together for example, a picnic . *Optional: If you are religious you guys can do a family scripture study together, pray together or do a family home evening game based on the scriptures. (Whatever scripture is part of your religion but don't go through the motions try to appreciate every moment you have with your family and remember the main purpose of why you are doing everything. :) Also btw it's great that you want to have a better relationship with your family. That is the first step. I wish you the best of luck. Family means everything to me and I can see how much it means to you since you want to better your relationship with them. Cheers to a new journey :)

Make plans together. Have a game night once a week or simply make some tea and watch tv together. Listen to each other and take each other serious. Consider the roles each member plays in your family and in your life specifically and tell them about things you appreciate.

It all starts with you, give your family your time and attention by scheduling it everyday. Remember in family it takes team work and effort since all of you guys are different in your own way. So learn to understand that and work towards a better relationship.

Communication is key when it comes to mending relationships. Too often are family relationships hurt because no one speaks up or says what is the matter. By talking to your family, you'll be able to slowly fix the tears that might have come between you and your family.

It is one of the hardest things, sometimes, to speak honestly to your family, because family is often the group that holds the highest expectations for you and wants you to succeed. Often, before this communication can happen openly and natural, there needs to be a more positive bond between the family members connecting as individuals in a context other than speech. Of course, building better relationships is going to look different for every family depending on location, values, and current relationship. Think about the types of things your family appreciates. Maybe how you'd describe them to a friend. Do you identify with those values? And if so, what is considered reaffirming to people who hold those values. Participate in these reaffirming activities with your family as much as possible! For families that value education, for example, might get a kick out of taking the time to go to a new educational experience or museum. Just spending time together pursuing the same values can build some bonds that will lead to better feelings. Don't be discouraged if attempts don't seem to work at first. Planting even a suggestion can lead to some action later on. Good luck!

Any relationship, be it a friendship, a romance, your relationship with your brothers or sisters or parents - all relationships thrive on communication. To have a better relationship with your family, you should try to communicate more with them. If they upset you, if they offend you, or even if you appreciate them and enjoy their company, let them know. Encourage them to talk to you about similar things. If they are not a person who opens up well, ask them why not. Try to be a person receptive to their communication, even if it's critical of yourself. Try to be a person who can politely criticize them. Try to be the best person you can be, in the relationship and encourage them to do the same.
