being close to each other
feeling concern and caring for one another
interacting with each other
1.Positive mental health in parents
Children whose parents say that they feel calm, peaceful or happy are more likely than other children to be positively involved in school and less likely to act out or have emotional problems.
2. Everyday routines
Families that tend to have regular routines and roles usually have children who do well in school and have greater self-control. Keeping these everyday routines (like eating together and doing household tasks) is associated with positive outcomes for adolescents. They are more likely to avoid delinquent behavior and less likely to use drugs.
3. Spending time together
Having fun with one's family is related to better outcomes for adolescents. Again, adolescents are more likely to avoid delinquent behavior and less likely to use drugs. Quality time is important for happiness in family relationships.
4. Communication and praise
Positive communication (being warm, respectful and interested in a child's opinions) is associated with the well-being of children. Two-way communication can encourage healthy behavior in adolescents.
Adolescents who have parents that use praise and who go to their parents for advice are less likely to have behavioral and emotional problems.
5. Monitoring, supervision, and involvement
When parents use praise and encouragement, show awareness and monitor adolescents' schoolwork and social life, their children tend to do better in school and show more socially positive behaviors.
6. Warm and supportive relationships between the parent and child
Warm and supportive relationships with parents are associated with good adolescent outcomes. Adolescents with these types of relationships are less likely to be suspended from school, are less likely to have behavioral and emotional problems, and are less likely to abuse substances.
