Family ties during the COVID-19 epidemic

Everyone is told to stay indoors during coronavirus infection. People around the world are trying to stay at home to stay free of Covid-19. Relationships are changing from coronavirus epidemic captive world to a safe home. The mood is irritable due to stress. And as tolerance decreases, family conflicts increase, and sometimes relationships get stronger. Previously broken relationships are sometimes welded. Many people seem to be reunited with their broken relationship.

According to experts, the fear of this Kovid-19 epidemic and the stress of staying at home in the lockdown is increasing. Many people are facing various mental health problems including anxiety, panic, adjustment disorder, depression, acute stress. Kovid-19 is infecting individuals and their families, doctors, nurses, and other emergency services personnel. Those who already have a mental illness are the most at risk. In addition, the fear of infection and death is increasing day by day among those who are at home during this lockdown. Mental health risks are increasing due to uncertainty about life and livelihood.

Mental health problems are changing people's behavior. Sometimes the mood is irritable. Tolerance is declining. Some people are behaving aggressively as they do not coordinate with the demand. Many are involved in disputes and arguments while staying at home. From there, domestic violence is on the rise. Some recent studies have shown that attacks on women are on the rise.

Recent studies have shown an increase in domestic violence during the Kovid-19 epidemic. This is an increase of 25 percent in some places and 50 percent in others. In some countries, special helplines have been set up to help women in this regard. Eliminating domestic violence in such a global epidemic will not only reduce stress but also change attitudes. Besides, if we can think positively while in this quarantine, it is possible to strengthen family ties instead of conflicts and conflicts.

Coronavirus will take away a lot from us. But if even a small positive achievement can be made at this time, it will make the next world more beautiful. This time at home can be used to strengthen and strengthen family ties rather than conflict. Here is what can be done:

* To reduce stress by changing attitudes:

Don't think of being a prisoner at home. Imagine you are free at home. The outside world is a prisoner. Try to enjoy the house without feeling captive. This will reduce your stress a bit. Your endurance will increase.

* Keep the big issues in mind:

Mankind cannot be in conflict with anyone other than the coronavirus at this moment. So altogether we have to defeat the coronavirus. Avoid petty arguments.

* Show respect to each other:

If you have never had the habit of showing respect to all family members before, then adopt this habit. One of the indicators of your identity as a human being is whether you respect others. This is a good time to show your respect to other family members, especially women. This opportunity may never come again in your life.

* Use the time:

In the book Enduring Love, Professor Jacques Gabb writes that in a family where both husband and wife worked, before the coronavirus, they spent an average of 150 minutes a day together waking up, much of which was watching TV or movies together. But in this coronavirus, there is an opportunity to give each other quality time. Use the time to learn to recognize each other anew.

* Give yourself time:

Give yourself some time by making rules every day. The more you know yourself, the stronger your feelings towards others will be. So give yourself time. Think of yourself.

* Take part in household chores:

Women, men, young and old, all in the family, take part in household chores as much as they can. The time you work will be stress-free. There will be no extra pressure on one and if a team is formed in this way, the relationships will be stronger.

* Give another person their own time:

Give your spouse the same amount of time as he or she has. Give him a chance to think about himself. Make arrangements so that he gets some time on his own during the day.

* Don't think that everyone will understand your thoughts:

Every man is unique in thought. So never assume that someone else understands all your thoughts. That is, your thoughts may not match the thoughts of others. No matter how close he is to you. Everyone's world of thought is different. If you can accept it, then the risk of conflict is less.

* Appreciate:

Practice complimenting each other in the family. Don't complain all the time. Don’t use phrases like ‘why make the house dirty’, ‘why to put it there’ and ‘why can’t you do it’. Rather, appreciate any work, no matter how small.

* Plan together:

Everyone discusses and decides. Get feedback from all family members.

* Internet is not always:

Any member of your family is smarter than your smartphone. So don't be immersed in the internet, on the mobile phone all the time. Spend family time.

* Follow the routine:

Follow a unanimous routine with everyone in the family. When to sleep, when to get up. Make an unwritten rule of when to eat, when to stay on social media, when to spend family time.

* Maintain humor:

To date, there is no evidence that humor can increase the risk of coronavirus infection. So don't be sullen in family chat. Open your heart and smile. Organize family events. Announce prizes for domestic sports.
