Building positive family relationships
The ordinary, everyday things that families do together can help build strong relationships with teenagers. Regular
family meals are a great chance for everyone to chat about their day, or about interesting things that are going on or coming
up. If parents encourage everyone to have a say, no one will feel they’re being put on the spot to talk. Also, many families
find that meals are more enjoyable when the TV isn’t turned on!
We should all take turns choosing outdoor activities for our families. A relaxing holiday or weekend away together as a
family can also build togetherness.
One-on-one time with the child gives the parents the chance to stay connected and enjoy each other’s company. It can
also be a chance to share thoughts and feelings.
Parents should celebrate the child’s accomplishments, share his disappointments, and show interest in his hobbies.
Sometimes it’s just a matter of showing up to watch the child play sport or music, or giving him a lift to extracurricular
activities.
Family traditions, routines and rituals can help parents and their children set aside regular dates and special times. For
example, we might have a movie night together, a favourite meal or cooking session on a particular night, a family games
afternoon or an evening walk together.
Agreed household responsibilities give kids of all ages the sense that they’re making an important contribution to family
life. These could be things like chores, shopping or helping older or younger members of the family.

A. to have an opportunity share their daily activities B. to talk about TV programmes during the meal
