How can I learn to get along
With Others? By Jane M. Chavez
When we think of all the people we meet in the course of a day, it is easy to see that getting along with others is a most important job. Learning to get along with others begin in the family. For most families a bond of affection develops toward family members that is strong and long-lasting. Affection for each other and loyalty to the family are present not only when children are growing, but can carry over into their relationship when they are grown men and women.
Because family members live together in a small space and for long periods of time, problems in getting along with each other are to be expected this is partly because at home everyone feels free to be himself. We take off our company manners, so to speak, the minute we walk in the door. We feel free to give way to our feelings and storm and protest about things that have happened to us outside. It is good that home is a place where we can ’’let off steam: when we need to. When someone has hurt our feel-
ings at school or at play, it is wonderful to know that we can talk about it at home and be understood. The angry feelings which we felt at first no longer seem so disastrous.
"This is one of the reasons why it is said that living in a family is much like a school for learning to live with others. "
But we cannot let off steam all the time. This will be hard on the family if we cause them to listen to our troubles too much of the time. They may likewise be in need of our sympathy and understanding, not only when things go wrong, but also at those times when they have been happy and successful.
The goal in many families is to give each member the feeling that he or she receives his or her share of
love, understanding and care. He or she needs to feel that his or her own welfare is more important than money or the materials things in the home.
As each family member feels loved and cared for at home, he or she feels kindly toward those outside the home. This is one of the reasons why it is said that living in a family is much like a school for learning to live with onthers
We can learn to be friendly. It is not something we arc born with or something we can over the drugstore counter. A family helps develop friendliness by encouraging children to bring their friends home, by being active in community affairs, and by being kind to and showing concern for all kinds of people.
We cannot just sit idly by and expect good relationships to happen. We have to work at it.

Por Jane M. Chavez
Cuando pensamos en toda la gente que llegamos a encontrar en el curso de un día, es fácil ver que el llevamos bien con los demas es un trabajo importante. El aprender a llevamos bien con otros empieza en la familia. Para la mayoría de las familias una union de cariño se desairóla entre miembros de la familia que es fuerte y duradera. El cariño entre unos y otros, y la lealtad a la familia están presentes no solamente cuando los niños están creciendo, pero se sostiene hasta cuando llegan a ser hombres y mujeres mayores.
Porque los miembros de la familia viven juntos en espacio reducido y por largos periodos de tiempo, problemas en llevarse bien entre ellos son comunes. Hacemos a un lado nuestros buenos modos, desde el momento en que entramos a la
"Una familia desarrolla amistad animando a los niños a traer amigos a la casa, siendo activos en la comunidad..en preocuparse por los demas. ”_______________
casa. Nos sentimos libres para demostrar nuestros sentimientos y empezamos a protestar sobre las cosas que nos hayan ocurrido fuera de la casa. Es bueno que el hogar es un lugar donde podemos "hechar fuera el humo’’ cuando necesitams hacerlo. Cuando alguien nos lastimó en la escuela o en el juego, es maravilloso saber que podemos hablar de esto en la casa y que allí nos comprenderán. Los
sentimientos de coraje que sentimos al principio ya no parecen ser tan desastrosos.
Pero no pmos ’’hechar humo” todo el tiempo. Esto puede ser difícil para la familia si insistimos que escuchen nuestros problemas en muchas ocasiones. Ellos también pueden necesitar nuestro consuelo y comprensión, no solamente cuando las cosas de ellos van mal, sino también en esas ocasiones cuando ellos se sienten feliz y triunfantes.
La meta de muchas familias es de darle a cada miembro el sentido que el o ella reciben su parte de cariño, comprensión y cuidado. El o ella necesitan sentir que su propio bienestar es más importante que el dinero o las cosas materiales del hogar, pontinúa en Pagina 6)
