Mario's notebook entry: Sep 10, 2010 Family foundation for the future life We all are aware that family plays a very important role in the development of an adequate identity and an education for social life. It is in the early infancy we learn how to face and resolve problems, we acquire certain core values and rules which are considered to be very important to fit adequately in a society. All of these factors are assimilated since the very beginning we are born through the communicative relation we establish with our parents. That is why Family life is a very important instance to devote time to due to the fact we are developing as human beings. Every family experiences these relations through a particular way, so do the children’s character is. It is generally accepted that the quality of family interactions has important associations with children´s and adolescents’ academic motivation and achievement, and with young adults' eventual educational and occupational attainments. Let’s take into account certain factors that do affect children future life. It is really important that Children are raised up under a environment of love, but this just not mean to tell them we love them. They also need to feel the expression of that feeling through a practical way, for instance, showing interest in their activities, congratulating them for their achievements, knowing their preferences and mainly being comprehensive and patient. The lack of love leads to get adults who are too dependent, they also presents a low self-esteem and are willing to get love through any mean and sometimes because of that they accept violence in their relationships. Another important aspect is to find a proper way to exert authority. Naturally, parents have got the natural right to exert authority over their kids but they have to manage how to apply it without harming them. The best way is to guide them, making them aware of what it is good and what it is wrong. Then, when the children are grown up, parents should adopt an attitude of mediation in which democracy is the fundamental aspect which sustains this relation. On the contrary, if a child is raised up under a very authoritarian environment there is marked tendency of reproducing the same scheme with his family and he also is accumulating a feeling of anger and frustration. The last factor is to use efficiently the spare time to share with their children. Even though, it is hard to do it, it is necessary to get to know one another and this will be appreciated very much for children. If there is no time left to share, the family loses uniformity and there is no confidence to share their problems or even the simplest things. To sum up, the presence or absence of a certain pattern in a child is fundamental in his later development and enables him to face the world through different perspectives or approaches. So the role of the family is effectively too significant in children future life .
