Three ways family members positively cope with change are:
- Maintaining open communication: Family members talk honestly about their feelings, concerns, and expectations, creating trust and mutual support. This includes regular family meetings, active listening, and using technology to stay connected.
- Supporting each other: Family members offer emotional support, assist with new tasks, and show care by being there for one another, strengthening bonds and creating a nurturing environment.
- Practicing flexibility: Family members adapt to new situations with resilience, being open to change, problem-solving together, and developing new traditions or rituals to provide stability and a sense of continuity during transitions.
These strategies help families to navigate change more smoothly, build resilience, and reinforce their connections.
