Preprint Children Education
Although any group must initiate its recruits, the family socialize its young in a different way because of its peculiar structure. This ensures that there is a difference in age between the older members - the parents, and the new recruits - the children. Thus, particularly where the children are young, the parents can exert great power over them.
Family provides not only physical care, but also teaches to the children the parents' interpretation of social reality around them, and it is within the family that the child's personality is developed in the early and the formative years.
The family is not a necessary social institution from the biological point of view, since reproduction of the species does not demand such an organization. But within the limits set by hereditary potentiality the personality is formed, and in most contemporary societies this development takes place best through the socialization of the young within a small group such as the family.
What you have described is the ideal situation. Print, electronic and broadcast media is spoiling this ideal situation by negatively influencing our children against our culture.
Borden Mushonga i agree with you Completly. With smart phones and computer communications for social networks, all the conversation values are disapearing.
A securely attached child will learn that their parents/carer will comfort them when they are distressed, and they will develop a sense that they are worthy of being consoled and loved. This is essential for healthy development in the child, and will set them up for a good start in life. Children who are securely attached are better able to manage their own feelings and behaviours and better able to relate to others. This gets babies off to a good start in terms of their social development as well.
Family plays an important role in the life of child ...within family , we come to know about values, beliefs, culture but now a days both parents are busy in other assigments and at the same time, child used to spend his time on social media
