Definition of Family

The family, according to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is the natural element,
universal and fundamental to society, has the right to the protection of society and the State.
The main ties that define a family are of two types: affinity bonds derived from
establishment of a socially recognized bond, such as marriage2— which, in some
societies only allow the union between two people, while in others the possibility exists for
polygamy—and blood ties, such as the relationship between parents and children or the bonds that are

the family according to the degree of kinship between its members.

There is no consensus on the definition of family. The nuclear family, founded on the union between
man and woman, is the main family model as such, and the structure most commonly disseminated
currently. Family life forms are very diverse, depending on social factors,
cultural, economic, and emotional. The family, like any social institution, tends to adapt
to the context of a society.

International Family Day is celebrated on May 15.

everything with feelings like coexistence, solidarity, and others), etc., those who live
together in the same place for a considerable time.

The importance of family

It relies primarily on two fundamental pillars for human existence: for one

any kind, not just human) when abandoned without any kind of care or protection from
possible dangers could not survive on their own. For humans, care and the

Here are my 10 essential family values


Belonging. It is important that each member of my family feels that they are loved.
that belong and are important. Being a united family can mean that
we spend all our free time together doing family activities, but keep in mind
that everyone is different. The creation of a strong family unit is important,
but each person must allow space and freedom to explore the activities that
they think they can enjoy. People are braver and more willing to
take risks if you know you have a safe place to return to when things go wrong
They work. Gather for special occasions and holidays and just spend time together.
Together as a family is what helps create that sense of belonging.

2) Flexibility. I am in favor of the order, schedules, and structure of my family for


help maintain a certain level of sanity. But too much structure and the lack of
the willingness to give a little can lead to a great deal of unhappiness and
resentment. Imagine a family member always thinks they are right and
enforces in his own way how things should be done. This certainly would not lead to
happiness within the family unit.

3) Respect. This is a little harder to define. For my family, respecting one another is
to have feelings, thoughts, needs, and preferences when making decisions
decisions. It also means recognizing and valuing everyone's thoughts and feelings.
and contributions to the family as a whole. Respect is, in fact, something that must be earned and there is
a very fine line between oneself and fear. The only way to win and maintain the
Respecting someone means first showing that you respect yourself. Respect as a value.
the importance of family extends outside the home and into school, work, or elsewhere
social environments.

4) Honesty. This is the foundation of all relationships that are meant to last.
Mother and daughter, husband and wife, sister and brother. Without honesty, a connection more.
deep will not form and of course it will not last. Foster honesty by practicing
understanding and respect when someone talks to you about their wrongdoing. If we lose it
and we get angry when they tell us what has happened, the other person probably
will hide next time what he has to say, just to avoid the lack of
respect.

5) Forgiveness. Forgiving people who have wronged you is an important decision that you
It must be taken. This is not a feeling that takes hold of you at random when it is felt that
the other person has "suffered" enough. This can be difficult as many of us
we tend to equate forgiveness with saying what you did was okay. Please note that
We all make mistakes, we all occasionally say things we don't mean.

6) Generosity. Giving without thinking is an important value for anyone who wishes to be a
responsible member, contributing to society. Through generosity
we build empathy as we tend to think more about what people want or need.
Being generous does not simply mean giving money to someone in need. It also
it can include time management, love, attention or even some of your
belongings.

7) Curiosity. Children have a natural curiosity. If you have ever seen a child
even if only for a couple of minutes, you would see that they shine through the quality. For
some of that curiosity fades away. I think it is important to encourage and push our
children and even ourselves to feel curiosity about things. How can we
awaken our curiosity? Ask questions. Many. Read about a topic that
we know very little and don ’t be afraid to say I don ’t know. critical thinking is a
important skill that can be learned and developed through exploration of
his own curiosity.
8) Communication. Communication is both an art and a science. In the absence of
communication will likely lead to unhappiness and misunderstandings. Small
problems become the biggest and when it finally boils the surface is
unlikely to be resolved calmly. Besides the spoken words, the
communication also extends to tone, volume, expression, listening, and eye contact,
body language and effective. I would say that this is the most important value that families
they have. When people feel they can speak openly about anything
things–hopes, dreams, fears, successes and failures–all without judgment, is encouraging and
strengthens the bond.

9) Responsibility. We all like to be considered responsible people.


Some of us are and some of us are decidedly less. The
Responsibility is something that is learned. Like a child who has been shown how
put away your toys after playing, the way to tidy up your room or how and
when to feed the dog. This sense of responsibility extends well into
from adulthood. An adult who has an intrinsic sense of responsibility does not
it requires a lot of insistence to show up for work on time, return calls
telephonic or meet deadlines. Starting individual responsibilities of the members
from the family works to instill this quality around the world.

10) Traditions. This is by far the most fun for me. I believe that traditions are what
they make a unique family. Traditions do not have to be expensive, elaborate or with
a lot of work. It can be something as simple as a lazy Saturday morning
having coffee and chatting or an annual fondue dinner to welcome the new year. Yes
They currently have no family traditions, create them.
