I'm at home with my family..
This process we went through with our family; It is actually in our hands to turn it into a crisis or an opportunity. If we pay attention to just a few important points; In these days when we fit our lives into the house, in addition to protecting our physical health, we also manage to protect both our family's and our own mental health.
***
The stress caused by uncertainty in the process, the stress of not being able to leave the house. Negative emotions such as boredom and anxiety about when the process will end can make us individuals who become tense, overwhelmed, intolerant, have difficulty in controlling our anger, and therefore begin to have difficulties in communication. But you should know that this negative emotional state is completely normal and temporary. Only your ability to manage the situation well will help you get through this difficult process easily.

At this point, it is remembered how valuable correct and effective communication is. You can turn the crisis moment into an opportunity and prevent possible crises in the family in advance with a few points that I recommend for effective and accurate communication. For this;
*Communicate Openly and Directly. Instead of expecting your family members to understand what you want, what you expect, and the situations that make you sad or happy, express them in a clear and understandable language. Be careful to use 'I LANGUAGE' when expressing. Example; I think you are not taking your responsibility in housework and I want you to help me more.
* Do Not Communicate One-Sided. Don't just tell your family members about your own wishes and expectations, but also listen carefully to the messages conveyed by family members. Make sure you correctly understand the message conveyed to you. If you think you misunderstood; If I understand you correctly……….? What do you mean here……………….? Reflect your thoughts on points you do not understand by using expressions such as.
* Never forget the age and maturity level of the family member you are communicating with. If you have an extended family or nuclear family structure; Never forget the age and maturity level of the family member you are communicating with. For example; If you are talking about something with your child, be sure to do so. aka carry out the communication process in a clear language that he can understand and using eye contact.
* Use Your Body Language. In communication, the integration of body language, tone of voice and words used is the most important point of effective communication. When communicating, pay attention to these three criteria and make sure that your body language and what you want to say are consistent. But sometimes what is said and what is conveyed through body language may not match each other. This is more of an attitude of "I can't tell you the problem, you just figure it out." For example; While they say "no problem" verbally, you can notice that something is wrong from their attitude, behavior and facial expression. Instead, be clear and understandable.
* Let Your Aim Be the Solution. In the face of a possible problem, your aim should not be to distinguish between right and wrong, but to solve the problem. This both eliminates the situation of taking sides and prevents the negative atmosphere within the family from lasting for a long time.
* Remember that All Children Want to Attract Attention. Children do what they do. If they cannot attract attention from their parents with their positive behavior, they try to attract this attention with negative behavior. For this reason, remember that your child wants to attract attention, both for your child's development and for you to minimize crisis moments in this process.
* Control your own anger. Achieving anger management in these stressful days will facilitate effective communication. When you get angry, you can count to 10 and wash your hands, fulfilling one of the 14 rules of protecting yourself from coronavirus, and calming down by moving away from the environment. In this way, there will be a time gap for you to express yourself correctly without being offensive during a crisis.
*Above All, Think Positive. If you knew that our thoughts direct our lives, you would always think carefully. You can achieve spiritual balance by believing that this process is temporary and that we will get through it more easily with the precautions we will take. Additionally, by not going out unless necessary, by staying at home and thinking that it is the right time to spend time with your family and the issues you have been postponing at home, this process will be made easier. You can make it enjoyable. If negative thoughts start to surround you, you can direct your attention to other things in order to protect your mental health and not negatively affect your family. You can start by planning your every day. You can also be interested in activities that relax the mind, such as reading books, listening to music and painting.
Believe me, children.
