Family and Child Development

The main engine of a child's development is the accumulation of human values ??of the family. Human values ??in a broad sense, has several aspects, including love, respect for elders, kindness, cooperation, honesty, courtesy, patriotism, sympathy and empathy are viewed as a personality factor developed. The personality of a man depended on the family in which he lives. Better training of the family generates a child's mental development and not for the benefit of society.


Education that teaches us to discern between good and bad, to assimilate the one and avoid the other is a misnomer, said Mahatma Gandhi. The purpose of education is not just for our children to simply read and write and develop individual skills, but to be proper human beings with positive and integrated in their societies. Thus, values ??such as punctuality, cleanliness, respect for elders, helping the less fortunate, teamwork and discipline, to give the socially integrated in a better place to live on this earth. We know that the social integration process begins in the family. The researchers observed a positive relationship between the family and society. Since the family is the cradle of social life, we can say good social beings come from good families. A person's character, ability and social consciousness are determined by the family he or she lives. The formation of the family should be a means of extracting the best of body, mind and spirit of a child. The experience of the family should be happy for the child. Only then the child can develop a positive attitude towards society. On the other hand a child who has any kind of hardship the family has the opportunity to develop a negative attitude toward himself and society, which may end his life as anti-social or unscrupulous. Here the role of the family to educate the child in the appropriate channel in no way be under looked. Milton in his Paradise Regained, he said, The childhood shows the man as morning shows the day. Wordsworth expresses the same fact, though less poetic, but more cryptic when he says child is father of man. Both poets say positively that the child is given to the prediction that the man of the future is that the child today as the tree is the future of the seed of today, invisible to the naked eye. If the skills and abilities in children are channeled properly witnessed great personalities who challenge the changing world. Great man's life much illustrate this point of view. Napoleon had built snow forts as a child, never as a child Nelson knew what it meant fear, Macaulay spoke printed words as a toddler. These people and many of them keep their promises of childhood and became great men in later life. We certainly can say that these figures are derived solely from a better home and environment. But we also see a number of boys and girls who score in bright rows in schools and universities and a great promise but soon fade into the wilderness of the future report. Nobody knows what happened to them, except perhaps their own near and dear ones. Like raindrops falling on the desert sand disappear. The complexities of life, the problems they face may overwhelm them. Its facilities are gradually disintegrate and move into the darkness. They are the people who need guidance. Better environment at home to keep your inner light burning. A child's mind is like a piece of wax that can be easily fashioned into any shape you want, all that is and you need the expert hand of a master artist. The mind virgin who is not devastated by the complexities of life is ready to receive, which plant will grow, thorns or flowers, gardens and meadows. Give one or Moropanth Jijibai. The world will witness Sivajis' and 'Lakshmibahais' give a Dhritarshtra, the world will be affected with Duryodhana and Dussasana. This highlights the importance of family and the environment that shapes the minds of a growing child. A happy home with loving parents no doubt contribute to healthy growth, while a stifling atmosphere in the family could crush the fair promises. The rapid disintegration of family life, as a result of the pseudo-civilization that has struck a mortal blow to the time values ??of many tests is at the root of the crisis of character and a growing unease around the world. In summary, the role of parents in the child's overall development is definitely crucial. We have lots of tips to take even more. Do not criticize or compare the child with others, encourage the child in any of their creativity, praise the success child, give honest answers to the child, be patient with the child, parents should try to build a genuine relationship with the child, try to understand the feelings of the child, sharing the joy and pain, to satisfy social and psychological needs of children and we will see difficult personalities.
