We are not born as a blank blank page. In the genes of our parents, grandparents and distant relatives, we inherit a general personality outline, i.e. certain temperamental traits. Psychologists say it is precisely these differences in temperament that often cause family troubles. That is why it is worth getting to know the weaknesses and strengths of loved ones in order to arrange mutual relations as smoothly as possible. Here's a task for the whole family.
The experience of many families shows that sometimes it is difficult to find harmony and understanding between the grandparents, the child's parents and the child himself. The expectations and needs of these three parties are slightly different. It is not easy to reconcile them.
Sibling relationships are never going to be perfect. Children of the same parents are two individuals. It is impossible to prevent conflicts or make sure no one ever suffers. What parents and grandparents can do is show their children ways to overcome common problems.
Grandparents' good advice can be really helpful, or at least worth thinking about. If parents reject them, they should communicate it in a specific but calm and cultured manner, and despite disagreeing, appreciate any advice. And grandparents should respect their parents' views.
Here's a quiz for the whole family. First, take your tests without communicating. Then let everyone check which letter they marked most often - a, b, c, d. Read the solution together.
To maintain good family relations, you need understanding and peace. Thinking about the welfare of children above all, mutual respect, conversation and compromising are the key to the success of the whole family.
