Presentation

Melissa Cooper – Communication

Communication at Christmas usually brings out the best and worst in people
• Suicide is higher
• People may not feel loved
• Don’t know how to talk to family about issues (money, lifestyle, health) which causes conflict
• Children and adults need to be open to more communication as this will open up trust and relations towards each other.
• By relating you realise how important you are to your family
• We often create unhealthy habits and relations which can often cause blame, silence, a distractor, talk over, too busy, and pointing the finger.

You need to talk to each other and ensure each other’s needs are met.
Stop blaming, if all else fails remove you from the situation until everything calms down.

This is a great time of year communication is the key to good relationships.
