The Life of Every Filipino Family

First of all let us know first what the meaning of family is. The family is the oldest human institution and in many ways it is the most important in each and every one of us and the most basic unit of our society. Whole civilizations have survived or disappeared depending on whether family life was strong or weak. Every family has existed since earliest times and will undoubtedly exist as long as we are living in this beautiful earth.

Families make up the basis of every society because we serve three essential needs that are found everywhere. First, the family is a means of producing children and continuing the human race. Second, our family provides for the protection and early training of our kids. Our children perhaps are the most helpless of every creature. They must be fed, washed and dressed. They cannot moves by themselves, as our kids grow older they must be trained to become responsible members of the family as well as in our society. Lastly is that our family must set up a division of labor so that they will grow up and knows how to work in their own and can contribute something in our family. The head of the family or the father usually earns the living while the mother looks after the household. Both parents care for our children we gradually assume responsibilities as they become able to do so.

In every family, our child needs physical, moral and spiritual, intellectual and cultural nurture. Their physical needs like food clothing, shelter health insurance and physical care are all essential for the physical growth of our children and all members of the family. It is also important the moral and spiritual care like comfort of love, good habits and attitudes correct actions and speech and spiritual enrichment provided by some of our religion. Values should be emphasized in every home as ideals of sympathy, cooperation and obedience, trust and adhere to principles.

We the parent or the husband and wife should be good models to our children because what they see from their parent is what also they follow. So we need to se to it that all our doings are in a perfect way if possible so that they will grow as a better person. Usually the cause of broken homes is the misunderstanding and quarrels between husband and wife. Thus if all virtues and values are observed and followed religiously, no doubt it is an effective improvement of every Filipino life.
