One way bonds or relationships in families can be strengthened is by letting others know how much you appreciate them, this includes telling them about their qualities or positive aspects while avoiding complaining about them or focusing on negative aspects. This is important because when individuals feel appreciated and loved they are more likely to participate actively in the family, express love and appreciation to others and help the family to stay together. Thus, it is true offering compliments rather than criticism can help to strengthen members of a family.
