Family Is A Team Effort

All mothers need unconditional support from their peers to take on the work that this role entails with great responsibility. When a baby arrives, it is the mother who usually takes care of most of the care and protection of the baby. But family is a team effort, not an individual responsibility.

Committing attention to the little one during the day can create detachment from the couple. The best way to strengthen emotional and love bonds is to create a team. In this team, the two companions support each other  and equally share the care of their treasure.

Forming a team that allows for a breakdown of the tasks and routines of the baby’s care will reduce the stress of the new mother considerably. As a result, she will feel calmer and more comfortable, allowing her to enjoy her little one even more.

It is important to keep in mind that communication is a fundamental factor that must always be present. The dialogue in the couple, the expression of what one feels, is a way of interpenetrating and taking on in the best way the magnificent work of raising and educating the new member of the family.

What is the best way to communicate what you need to your partner?

It is not enough just to talk: it is necessary to know how to manage the situation and control our emotions. In this way, communication becomes effective, avoiding conflicts and misunderstandings that take away its value. It is for this reason that below we present some tools and tricks that will allow you to communicate with your partner in the best possible way.

• Find an appropriate time when you can express how you feel. Let him know that you would like to share the responsibilities of the little one and the house equally. Explain that their company and support are essential to you.
• Feeling valued and loved. The father’s demonstrations of love and understanding make the woman feel immensely happy. For this reason it is very important to let your partner know that you would like to share good couple moments more often.
• Strengthen family ties. Let your partner know that you would like him to find moments not only for you, but for the children as well. A father who shows them continuous support and affection strengthens the family unit.
• Communication based on mutual respect. Keep in mind that when you talk to your partner, your communication must come from affection. Use appropriate words, an appropriate tone of voice, and always check your emotions.

How to do teamwork in the family?

Support and understanding are one of the key aspects that make mothers feel valued. But sometimes communicating and understanding each other isn’t enough. For this you need to have a plan to share the commitments, so that the house is a harmonious and welcoming place for the family.

It will be a bit difficult at first. But in the medium term, the family will be able to find a balanced way to make things easier, both for the mother and for her partner. It is important to keep in mind that these changes involve an adaptation process. It is therefore necessary to understand each other in order to achieve harmony and balance in responsibilities.

Responsibilities in the home must be shared equally and balanced, taking into account the other activities performed by each member of the family, such as study, work, etc.

The father should participate as much as possible in the housework with the mother, so that he can participate and become familiar with the responsibilities of the home. This way he will also know what to do if he is eventually alone with the children.

An excellent idea is to organize the tasks according to each one’s schedule and routine, in order to have greater order and planning. It is essential that you do it in two, and that you decide together who to assign each task.

We know that mothers are super women who can take charge of a thousand things at a time: taking care of children, working, doing housework, etc. But for them there is nothing more satisfying than feeling supported and loved by their peers.
