Families Are Essential To The Future Of The Child

By Byron Jonas

Many people do not realize that families are critical to the future of a child. If there were not any families children would not learn the life lessons needed to mature properly. Mom, dad and one or more children would make up a small family. Aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins could make up the family that would probably live outside the home, considered to be an extension of the smaller family unit.

Friday nights could be movie night and Sundays would be a day for church in many families that do their activities together. Eating meals together is another activity that is shared by the family unit when possible. As children get older they become occupied with sports or other activities that are held after school. When those events are available for the public to view, the close family will be there, cheering on the child and his or her endeavors.

Holidays are the times the extended family gets together. Grandma and grandpa have a cabin at the lake that is great for summer weather holidays. The moms all bring a dish to share with the others for the get together. A much loved family gathering time is the Christmas Holidays. Again food is brought by all to share, as are gifts. But the memories are made by the love that is shared at all of these gatherings as aunts, uncles and grandparents see the nieces, nephews and grandchildren.

Parents that are loving towards each other and the children set a good example for the children to learn. A boy or girl that is taught to treat a sibling properly, will know how to treat others. Emulating what they see at home, the boy or girl learns how to love others.

Children raised in a healthy family environment grow up to be healthy adults. They know how to handle relationships with maturity. These children tend to be more stable in the field they have chosen as well as able to handle the pressures of the work environment.

Having learned about love from their family life, the children now must teach those same life lessons to their own children. They must also love their spouse as they saw their parents do. Also to be passed on is how to know the difference between doing what is right as opposed to doing what is wrong.

A child is brought into this world not knowing good from bad, or right from wrong. It is the responsibility of the parents in the family to teach the child these things. When these things are taught to the children, they in turn teach their children and the family unit continues. A healthy family environment raises children that become upstanding citizens of the community, completing the cycle the parents started.
