VALUES
We generally understand values to mean an understanding of what is right and what is wrong. As a society, we have norms and values, and these function in conjunction with personal values and norms.
Usually, people show more respect to people and to things that they value highly. Whenever you treat people with disrespect, your children will certainly notice. Children are sponges that soak up everything around them, and many times we forget that they are watching us.
A good way to teach your child values is to discuss with them the importance of healthy and unhealthy weights. Even when your child is little, giving them some responsibilities, such as cleaning the table or helping to clean up a friend and sibling when they are sick, will begin to teach them the importance of these values.
SKILLS
Once your child is born, they start learning motor skills, emotional skills, and language skills. Regarding motor skills, it is largely the family's responsibility for teaching these skills.
Language skills are another important component of the role of the family in child development. They will never learn if you do not speak to your child and teach them your language. so, teaching your children language skills from a young age is also essential to child development.
Another skill that is very important for child development is emotion. Emotional development is a process that a child develops from dependence to a fully functioning adult and applies to most life forms.
Emotional development refers to the ability to recognize, express, and manage feelings at different stages of life and to have empathy for the feelings of others.
To help develop your child's emotional skills, teaching them to smile and wave when they are babies is a good place to start. When they get a bit older, teaching them to share is very important. In a family, because there are multiple people, the family can be very helpful in developing a child's skills with multiple perspectives.
SOCIALIZATION
When you bring your child home for the first time, your family will become their social group. Parents are the first teachers of children. Generally, we have to learn how to make and sustain relationships. These skills are started and strengthened with the family.
Additionally, giving your child the tools for interpersonal development before they learn the skills of technology is vital. These skills can ultimately help your child avoid some of the common effects of technology on children.
Learning how to have face-to-face interactions is critical in a child’s development. Face-to-face interactions require immediate responses, facial expressions, cues, certain tones of voice, and much more that we do not receive through texting or other online message systems.
SECURITY
Your child gets their primary sense of security from their family. They rely on you to make sure their basic needs, such as shelter, food, and clothing, are met. More than that, there is emotional security at home that your child will not find in any other place.
As a parent, giving your child consistency and structure helps them to develop feelings of security. This can be achieved through schedules. Your child will know that every day around a certain time, they will eat, bathe, sleep, etc.
Security within your child is a lifelong positive attribute. This also happens with building trust between family members and children. When your child feels that they can trust others around them, then they will be more comfortable being themselves. Trust happens through secure attachment when a child’s basic and emotional needs are met.
As a parent, recognizing your child’s needs is very important. Additionally, knowing how they ask for their needs is essential.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Raising children can be very difficult, but it can also be extremely rewarding. Remember to not only teach your child but make sure that you act in the way that you expect your child to act. It’s impossible to be perfect all the time, but you can always strive to be your best when it comes to your role in child development. No one is perfect and no family is perfect.
However, knowing how important the role of family is in the development of children is crucial. As parents, you are your child’s first teacher. More than daycare or other caregivers, most of your child’s learning happens at home with their family.
Creating an environment where your child can learn the appropriate skills and values as well as learn how to socialize and be secure creates a solid foundation upon which your child can grow.
