1008 Words5 Pages

The first interaction an individual experiences in building relationships is within the family institution. Bogenschneider (2014) conferred, that it is within a family institution an individual first experiences love and commitment and how to relate to others. A family provides a moral authority that resists the pull toward self-centeredness, greed, self-interest and the quest for power (as cited in, Responsiveness Communication Platform, 1992). It is in families that an individual learns the value and joy of commitment to others, even when it exacts a personal cost (p. 4). The scenario is an ideal situation of the responsibilities of a family institution. In like manner, the individual will now be able to use the experience learned to …show more content…

Parents have the ability to develop a positive relationship with their children, whereby they will value the relationship. Parents impact their children at different stages in their lives. Binh (2012) stated that, at birth family members care for a child, feed, clothe, bathe, put child to sleep. The child then moves through the kindergarten stage where they begin to role play adults through playing of games: seller and buyer, teacher and student, doctors and patients (p173). Binh further stated that playing games allows children to develop personalities: sensing, singing, drawing and qualities of politeness, cleanliness, silence, discipline, honesty, love for parents and friends, tolerance, courage (p .174). As such, children learn to value their external social relationship with playmates, school mates, teachers based on the quality and characteristics of the home environment. The family is the primary unit in the socialization of children. For a society to function adequately families have the responsibilities to socialize their children. As such, the socialization process prepares children to develop relationships with others in society. Binh (2012) believed that "the process of changing a baby from a natural organ to social person happens through educating-socializing" (p. 173). Therefore, the process starts within families to nurture socially developed children to form

    One of those social issues would be the different treatment they receive. For instance, there are some individuals who have issues with their assault cases not being taken seriously or disregarded. In a number of cases the police have ruled violence within the family to be the issue instead of looking further into the case. This assumption is challenged in The Globe and Mail when Mr. Yaksic says, “by stating that the problem is rooted in family violence, the police are deflecting attention away from the broader problem of stranger victimizations because they cannot get a handle on it” (Blaze and McClearn 7). This notion is appalling as there are many different factors that can contribute to these tragedies and not just family violence.

    Howard (2002) states that all early practitioners have to realise how play is vital in children development. When children are offered playing opportunities they are also given the opportunity to develop in their communication and language. A practitioner can support a child in communication and language by planning activities such as role play whereby the children will be socialising and hence communicating either with other children or the member of staff to describe what they are doing in the role play and they have to be encouraged to talk as children find playing is having fun. The children might find it easier to talk while playing and socialising. Fisher (2010) points out how play supports children’s learning and stating that when children play together with other children they get to talk and argue or express their point of view, hence, this will make them confident to speak out and therefore, these children will be gaining skills in talking and

For Fleetwood (2012: 1), the importance of families is highlighted by the fact that it would be difficult to comprehend a society that could function without them. In addition, even though families and their compositions vary across societies and cultures, the family can be viewed as a universal social institution (Macionis & Plummer, 2012: 625. Specifically, according to Macionis and Plummer (2012: 625) and Neale (2000:1), it has the ability to unite individuals into cooperative groups via social bonds (kinship) and is ultimately experienced differently from individual to individual.
