Absolutely! Clear communication really is key, and it's a wonderful way to maintain a healthy dynamic within the family, especially when there's so much going on. Empathy is a great tool to have too, as it ensures no one feels left out or unacknowledged.
It also helps to explicitly acknowledge the importance of each person's role - whether that's at work or at home - and the value it brings to the whole family unit. This open dialogue keeps everyone on the same page and fosters a lovely sense of unity, as you say!
