Communication is The Key for All Kinds of Relationships Tips on Improving Communication with your dear and near ones
A healthy relationship forms out of a great bond, and that bond can be developed through a great level of communication. However, communication between the close relationships comes with an aspect, which does not fit easily into the definition of communication, and that aspect is ‘Expectations’. Sharing here some tips on Improving Communication with dear and near ones to maintain healthy relations.
Tip I - To work on the relationships to make them better, it is important to examine our expectations first. When we communicate with our dear ones keeping these expectations in mind, we may many times sound offensive, demanding, even nagging. Naturally, the other person responds in similar emotions.
Tip II - We communicate largely as a response to our expectations from others. So, we should watch ourselves on the expectations we have from each other Work on the expectations you have from your partner about contributing in house work Stop expecting that your children should study too much, behave good all the time or keep on contributing into the household chores Reflect on yourself if you expect children to use gadget only for studies, when you yourself are all time busy using some or the other gadgets Watch the kind of expectations you have from in-laws
Tip III - Replace Expectations with Acceptance Accept that gadgets are here to stay and the ‘new normal’ for our children. Accept that teenagers do not like to spend a lot of time with their parents and that they have lot of secrets, which they like to share with their friends. Accept that our partners also need space and just because we are married does not mean they have to spend every minute of their free time with us.
Once we accept the basic reality of ourselves and the important people in our life, we can have much smoother communication most of the time
