Building relationships with family can be more difficult than building relationships with friends, colleagues, and acquaintances. Family ties and traditions are mixed with ordinary human communications. It is in your power to avoid conflicts with relatives. You just need to show respect and attention to loved ones.
Instructions
Step 1
To reduce the possibility of conflict with family members, it is important to know what the main motives are driving all family members. It is impossible to build strong relationships without mutual understanding. Talk to your loved ones more, spend time together. Otherwise, you will become completely strangers, and then collisions cannot be avoided.
Step 2
Try not to act against the interests of the family. Consider the needs of others and the feelings of relatives. When planning to do something, first think about how your activity will affect your family. If the question concerns them, be sure to consult with loved ones. Making decisions together is the best strategy for families looking to maintain good, strong relationships.
Step 3
Control your negative emotions. It happens that a person at work and in front of friends keeps negative feelings under control, but in front of relatives does not consider it necessary to save face and pours on them everything that has accumulated in his soul during the day. In any case, do not break off on your relatives, they do not deserve this.
Step 4
Be polite and nice to your family members. Some people show a keen interest and skill in communication in front of colleagues and friends, and do not consider it necessary to establish good relations with relatives. Loved ones also need to give compliments, gifts and other signs of attention, do not forget about this.
Step 5
Do not allow yourself to be turned off half-turn if conflict is brewing in your family. Your relatives are the same people. They may have their own problems at work, with health, or just a bad mood. In such difficult times, someone must maintain composure in order to prevent the situation from escalating into a conflict. Therefore, it is important to be patient and treat the possible whims of relatives more leniently.
Step 6
Consider the individual characteristics of your family members. For example, older people need to be respected. Be patient with such relatives. Remember that they have some life experience and feel it is necessary to share wisdom with you. It is not worth explaining to them that thanks to new technologies you have access to almost any information, that your generation has made a big step forward in development compared to the past. Just don't argue and thank your elders for their advice and help.
Step 7
In order to avoid conflict situations, you should not confuse family relations and financial issues. Sharing business with relatives can destroy both the relationship and the business. You should also not borrow large sums of money from relatives. Suddenly it turns out that you will not be able to deliver them on time, this will cause a difficult situation.
