The definition of family is individual and each is important. Strong families appear in different ways, shapes and forms. I would like to tell you some characteristics of strong families which I'm witnessing throughout my parenting phase.⁣

• Commitment : This is particularly important in co- parenting families. Reassure your children it is OK to love all of their parents and siblings; don't make them feel guilty.⁣

• Appreciation : Teach and use appreciative language and gestures. Children learn from adult examples.⁣

• Communication : Keep your communication positive, listen to all opinions and don't forget to lighten the mood with laughter when tensions are running high.⁣

• Time together : Mealtime is a great place to start. Include family members in Menu planning, Shopping and Food preparation.⁣

• Spiritual wellness : Share your views about your beliefs and why they are important to you.⁣

• Crisis and Stress : Be mindful of how others in the family feel when things are stressful. Encourage family members to work together and share feelings when the going gets tough.⁣
