When Does a House Become a Home?

House- 

• a home if the family members living in it get along well with each other.

• They love and respect one another.

• They help and cooperate with one another in doing family work.

• They have fun and enjoyment together.

Ways of Getting Along with Family Members

1. Show your love and affection to everyone.

• Being concerned with the well-being of family members is a sign of love and affection for them. 

• Helping your sister set the table or wash the dishes, helping your brother in doing his homework, running errands for your father and mother, feeding the baby, and giving presents on special occasions are some ways by which we can show our concern, love, and affection. Can you think of some more?

2. Show respect and consideration.

• Everyone in the family, young or old, has the right to be respected. 

• How can you show respect and consideration? Saying

• “Thank you” when in gratitude or “I’m sorry” when you are at fault is respecting others and yourself. 

• Saying ‘po’ or ‘opo’ and kissing the hands of elders are age-old customs of paying respect.

• Calling your older brothers and sisters, Ate and Kuya is another good Filipino custom. 

• Keeping quiet when someone is sleeping, listening attentively when someone is talking, not answering back angrily when being scolded, and abiding by your father or mother’s decisions are ways of showing our respect.

3. Do your share of work in the family.

• Everyone should have a share of the work depending on age, gender, and state of health. 

• The older brother does house repairs and gardening. 

• The older sister can cook and clean the house. 

• The younger brother can help the older brother. 

• The younger sister can help the older sister.

4. Share in the family fun

• Sharing fun and enjoyment in family gatherings is another way of getting along with the members of the family.

• Sharing experiences during mealtime promotes understanding and affection

• Celebrating birthdays and holidays are special occasions that should be spent together. 

• Going out on picnics, excursions, or seeing a movie promises fun for everyone.

5. Have a sense of humor

• They say that laughter is the best medicine. 

• Humor puts you in a light mood. It takes away worries and anxieties. 

• When the atmosphere is light and everybody is in a happy mood, they are

easy to get along with. 

• Remember, some jokes that you share with the family may put everyone in a good mood especially during mealtime.

6. Keep an open mind

• Always try to understand others’ opinions, and not only yours.

• Do not insist on your own. 

• Having an open mind allows you to listen to what others have to say and consider whether what they say is better than yours. It is wrong to think that you are always right. 

• Respect the idea of the other members, even if they are younger than you.

7. Do not criticize when someone makes a mistake

• Criticism can hurt others’ feelings. 

• It can destroy relationship especially if the other member of the family thinks it is not his/her fault. 

• Always remember, everyone makes a mistake once in a while.

8. Be extravagant with praises

• Always give praises when someone does a good act or favor for you or for other members of the family. 

• Praises serve as an encouragement to do better, while criticism is not only

discouraging but also gives a feeling of inferiority to the one being criticized.

Receiving Visitors at Home

• When receiving visitors at home, it is best to exercise caution especially if the visitor is not known to you. 

• However, you should behave in a gracious and respectful manner so as not to offend the visitor:

Safety practices to observe when receiving visitors

1. Open the gate and greet the visitor “Good Morning!,” “Good Afternoon!,” or “Good Evening!” depending on the time the visitor arrived.

2. Inquire by asking “What can I do for you?” or “Who are you looking for?”

3. Do not allow the visitor to enter the premises right away. Instead, make an excuse and say, “Please wait for a while and I will call ____.”

4. If the visitor is a family friend or relative, greet him/her with a warm smile and say, “Please come in!” or “Welcome, please come in!”

5. Upon entering the living room, say “Please be seated,” “Can I offer you a drink?,” and any other greetings that can make the visitor feel comfortable.

6. When the visitor and family members are in conversation, do not join the conversation unless requested so.
