What is family?

 A family is more than a house, and more than a simple identity of father, mother, and children. The family is a place, and even more so are the relationships within the place.

The family is the place where children grow up and provides various material foundations for their growth. The family is the child's initial living environment, and the emotional interaction between parents and children determines the child's initial social and cultural cognition, interpersonal relationship and emotional response mode.

Nurturing familial relations are protective as they can foster children’s resilience, buffering against the negative effects of adverse experiences. The loving and caring interactions a child has with its caregivers is one of the most powerful engines of resilience.

The family is also the source of risk factors for children's growth. In addition to violence against children in family settings, poor parent-child interaction is a trauma that requires children to heal throughout their lives.

In the environment where I grew up, my mother was mainly responsible for taking care of the family members. She did not go to work, and my father was responsible for earning money to support the family. When I was young, my mother took care of the family's food, drink, clothing and other living needs, as well as basic education, and my father was responsible for playing with the children. Dad took me to work out and do some boys' games, I have a boyish personality.  

The small family I live in belongs to a big family. As the wife of the eldest son in the family, my mother is also responsible for maintaining the relationship of the whole family and taking care of the elders. Mom has a gentle personality and never argues with others. Everyone loves her very much. I was born in a traditional Chinese family.


Self-Reflection: Think now about the context in which you live and work. what is a family in your context? what kinds of family arrangements are typically found in your surrounding and who belongs to each
