"Lockdown" is a word that comes with the feeling of sadness. It means that we have to be inside our houses and avoid meeting people. In India, Lockdown has been put up to prevent the cases of Corona Virus. The Prime Minister of the country has applied the complete lockdown from March 2020 to May 2020. This has been continued till now but with some changes in the norms. It has affected lot of things in human life in terms of economy, health and most important the relationship between the Family.

Relation between families

Family relationship is the most important in human life. The relationship that you have with family w directly interferes in your personalities. If you have strong relationship with your family then you will be having a sympathy and kindness in your personality. Whereas if you have a detachable relationship with your family then you will be having an ignorance and rudeness in your personality.

But how does relationship between your family has become in lockdown?

Lockdown has affected the relationship between the family in both negative and positive way. So here are some examples of this:-

Positive Effects:

1. Through lockdown we have so much time that we can spend with our family and work on our relationship.

2. Before lockdown you were busy with your work that caused stress. But now you have plenty of time to talk to your parents and discuss your problem.

Just talking or spending time with your family has a great effect on your relationship. As now you can understand your family more than you have known in your entire life. You will come to how your mother spends her day when you are not at home. What does she do to spend her time and now you can follow them.

* A personal example, before lockdown I was busy in my college and was very stressed for my selection of subject in my masters. But when the lockdown happened I got time to talk to my sister about what subject should  I take and she also helped me very nicely as she has time to talk to me because before she was busy in her office.

Negative Effects:

1. During lockdown when you have so much free time to talk to your family which can lead to overthinking of their statements, as now you don't have any distraction to avoid clash of opinions.

2.When you're stuck inside your house and have nothing to do, you start overthinking and start analyzing the wrong meaning of the statements of your family member. A feeling of boredom start with your family as they are same people living with you and you are not meeting new peoples. This is main reason of breakdown of the family. You are only considering your opinions which is wrong. Human beings need a second  person perspective to make a right decision.
