Do we really need a therapy to help us strengthen our family bond? The answer is no, there are little things we can do so as to strengthen our family bond. God started a family on earth with Adam and eve. It seems they missed one little thing called Kindness, which would have helped them foster strong relationship or connection and defeat the Devil, but the Devil defeated them. This alone shows how Kindness is crucial in each family.

Family bonding can be defined as the strong and emotional connection within the family family members and this helps to strengthen relationship. Family bonding can be practiced in numerous aspects such as participating in different activities, spending quality time together and supporting each other either financially or emotionally.

• Helping with chores

Helping parents and siblings with chores will drive away that bad character or feelings which can make it difficult to strengthen family bond, that bad feelings is called Envyness. When i was a kid, my parents do encourage us to help each other with chores even if it's not our turn to do so. Listening to them and putting that into practice helped me a lot as well as strengthening our family bond.

• Words of encouragement

We're living in a critical time which is hard to deal with. There are most times family members do feel discouraged because of one thing or the other, it may be lack of job, shelter, food etc. At this point, they need us by their side to offer them words of encouragement because this will make them feel as if they're cared for, rather than leaving the family to express their feelings to a total stranger.

• Sharing

Job in the Bible said that it'll be a great sin if he eats from his portion of food then he refuses to give to the orphans. Sharing is an act of kindness which in return strengthen family bond. "Always share the little you have with your siblings" my mother said to me. I've been doing that and till today, we're still sharing and this helps strengthen our family bond.

• Educational support

Academic archivement can be easier when we find ourselves in a supportive family environment. Family bonding will push each family members to help in doing assignment or homework, encouraging and outlining the importance of education. If parents are needed in school during the PTA meeting, everybody will always want to go. This is one of the benefits of family bonding.

• Less stress

Living in a supportive family environment will help reduce stress because all the burden won't fall on you only, but will be shared among the family members and treated with ease. But if you find ourselves in a situation whereby you're the fainted and also the person that resurrects yourself, the stress will be much and it will affect your mental health.

Conclusion

Family is valued by our creator JEHOVAH because he started it, so we kids have our own role to play in our family such as showing kindness so as to help our parents and also strengthen our family bond.
