New Delhi, India
In big cities of the country, when children start getting separated from the home of their upbringing, their parents have to adopt a new lifestyle in a big and empty house. This change gives a new interpretation to traditional family closeness, which is not based only on living under one roof.
As young adults move away from their families due to job, education or marriage, new ways of bonding in families are being adopted. With the help of mobile phones and internet, children and parents make video calls, send messages and share things every day. This technology helps them maintain emotional closeness despite physical distance.
Also, the common moments traditionally spent among the family have now reduced. Planned meetings over the weekend or a few times throughout the month have now become the mainstay of relationships. Due to this, the importance of special occasions has increased, but small everyday joys and interactions are missed.
Experts believe that along with this change, families will also have to adapt their expectations and style of relationships so that they can maintain mutual support and affection while respecting each other’s freedom. It is both a challenge and an opportunity for parents to utilize their free time in their interests, health and social activities.
In this new era, families living in cities maintain mutual communication by taking the help of technical devices, so that the feeling of emptiness arising from distance does not become. In this way the definition of families is changing; Now, despite being non-local, it is becoming a symbol of strong emotional connection.
