FAMILY ENVIRONMENT – IS IT LIKE A PARADISE OR HELL?

 

An ideal home environment should be like a SAFE HAVEN, Garden of Eden and a small Paradise on EARTH. Yet many home environments are so hostile and causing many health ailments (e.g. heart diseases, depression) and sending many to an early grave. Many lives are being prematurely lost due to abusive home environments which are like prisons and torture chambers. A good home environment is supposed to be life nurturing, life saving and conducive for growth and learning.

It is one of the roles of a family to provide a stable, safe and positive environment for parents and their children or dependents. This is intended to make a home environment sweet and refreshing. If it is negative, then it is very energy-sapping and may cause health challenges. A negative home environment is less productive and kills the unity of a family. Everyone should feel safe and loved and hence this promotes a sense of belonging. When each and every family member feels a sense of belonging to the family, they become productive - without stress - in the family. All work and assignments are done without stress, but happily and joyfully. A sense of belonging can be promoted if everyone feels loved and needed in the family and participates in common family decision making, consultations and fellowship. Everyone is filled with peace and love, and radiates peace and love to one another in the family and outside the family. Parents and guardians should nurture and protect the peace and positivity in the family environment. Every dispute should be quickly resolved and ensure restoration of the peace and positive environment in the family, for this is healthy and life-sustaining. A negative environment is a quick killer. Joy and peace are medicine to the body.

Peace should be nurtured and protected in the home environment through tolerance, understanding, listening skills and forgiveness.

Home environment has an impact on family members’ health (mental, physical, emotional & social), growth/development, relationships, confidence, sense of belonging, and learning. It needs to be conducive to these qualities. A good and conducive family environment stimulates, nurtures and inspires family members’ development (mental, emotional. social and physical), motivation, and provides a positive learning environment. Every family member, including the parents and guardians, has the responsibility of maintaining such an environment for the benefit of all. A positive environment nurtures positive relationships, which in turn maintain safe, stable and nurturing environments. Children should be developed physically, mentally, socially, emotionally and spiritually. There is long-term positive or negative impact on family members and children due to the state of the environment and relationships. Abusive relationships and negative treatment affect the family members’ health (mental, physical, emotional & social) negatively, the manner of children’s growth/development, and always increase stress levels. Most children grow under high stress levels, which are not conducive to their growth, health and wellbeing. Self-confidence, sense of responsibility and belonging are enhanced by a safe, clean, organised and positive-centred environment. Children are normally happy being in a good, safe and clean environment.
