Smart homes: reconciling is everyone's business
Everyone wants to get home and find a peaceful home, the place where they rest. A home where order, good manners, conversations, mutual help reign. However, how often do the couple argue with each other over domestic problems?
Other times, it is the parents who recriminate their children who are at home as if they lived in a hotel, without home responsibilities. Taking a home forward requires investing time, intelligence, organization and also, because no, professionalization on the part of all. And is that in an intelligent home, conciliar is everyone's business.
The housework, better among the whole family
"Always with the water around my neck, if the doctors of the children, the shopping list, plan the dinners and meals, repeat my children continuously to order their things, be like a driver taking them from here to there * the truth I do not rest at home, I prefer to be outside. " Surely more than one this situation is familiar. Household tasks run out, especially if you have the impression that everything is done one (or one) and that your spouse or children do nothing. If you do not have domestic help, the housework is multiplied, and even if you have it, you will always have to direct the employee.
How to get and manage a home so that everyone can rest and feel comfortable at home? In an intelligent way you have to know how to reconcile so that the word "home" denotes shelter, comfort, security and love, which reduces stress and increases family satisfaction.
Balanced personalities in the family
The congress Excellence in the Home held in London, counted with the participation of experts from different areas who defended the importance of skills and domestic tasks, because food, hospitality, health and cleanliness in a house, not only cover the basic needs of the person, but they help to shape the essential features of a balanced personality.
One of the participants, Prudence Leith, founder of Leith School of Food and Wine of London, noted that "neglect at home, leads to a dysfunctional family life." Being a housewife is a profession and requires professional training.
Teach children from a young age to collaborate
In his opinion, all the members of a family need to learn to create a home, to produce it and to improve it. "We do not teach children anything, apart from brushing their teeth and we do not give them responsibilities, very few have to make beds or clean their rooms, wash the car or change a plug," he adds.
Prudence Leith advises that children should be taught from childhood to control, for example, the character at home, which is an ability to create a home; to do small assignments at home, knowing that he is the one responsible for that task; and also, to plan together the way of resting with the family on weekends, also the father and the mother.
