Now that you've studied interpersonal communication, you would like to strengthen your family relationships. Using information gleaned from this chapter of your textbook, what ground rules about behaviors,
communication patterns, and use of technology could you set to guide your successful family interactions?
Fill in the blank with correct word
Answers may vary, but most specifically would include:
• Behaviors: Since every family member's behaviors influence the behaviors of the rest of the family, each member should choose positive verbal and nonverbal messages when communicating with the rest of the family.
• Communication patterns: As family relationships change over time, communications patters also may need to change. Parents may need to remember that as children age, they must be treated as adults.
• Technology: Family members should discuss how, when, and why to use particular technologies when communicating with each other. Their shared expectations will make frustrations over technology use less likely.
