The responsibilities of the family

There are different roles behind the responsibilities of the family, and these responsibilities are very important because of their role in the upbringing of children. In addition to that, these responsibilities take many forms and can be some permanently and some temporarily, and there are some examples of the role of the family, which are the following:

-Ways to care for children.

-Observe the way the older brother cares for the younger brother.

-Get used to helping relatives or the elderly on a regular basis.

Motivating children to carry out simple or appropriate household- tasks for their age -stages

Participation of children in providing financial income for the- family.

These are some of the important roles behind the responsibility of parents for children to make children responsible and receptive to the social and material situation of the family and the correct ways to care for the little brother, along with other aspects such as playing games or the correct ways of spending leisure time and the need to allocate specific times for the family.

Top 10 responsibilities for family

There are many, many important responsibilities behind the role of the family for many aspects of social upbringing, personality, and how to form a lifestyle for children, and we will now mention the most important of these responsibilities

Making sure your children are happy

One of the first reasons why a child is a good future for parents' alerts and guidance is mental health and to be a happy child until he becomes a good future for what parents send from the directives, and this does not mean that the child is not raped or cut off at a few times and this does not have a negative impact; specifically, this will happen when the child is punished or something happens that does not impress them, and this is one of the most important responsibilities of the family, which is not to submit to what the child likes or desires because this is not the right decision It will make him a spoiled child who desires all things around him without sufficient awareness.

Control your child

The mediation on the child does not mean that he loses his personality or that he makes his own decisions that he must take in order to become a responsible person, but it is the responsibility of the family here to direct to what he must do or to what is right so that the child does it without coercion, but rather awareness, understanding and free will from him to do so, for example when advising a child of the need to complete homework by stimulating and advising the child to allocate time and set to complete all his homework and what The completion of homework entails knowledge, success and excellence without parents solving what is inside the homework and here is the difference.

Asking the observers about the child

Most of the time, there are specific times when the child is in places outside the home under the care of other people, such as in the club under the care of a dedicated trainer, with friends, relatives, or inside the school under the care of teachers.

Ask the child to do what he can do?

In many cases, the child does not perform the tasks that must be performed depending on the parents' role in this role, such as the child's failure to organize his own room or not finishing the meal allocated to him alone or going to sleep on time for that, and the responsibility of the family here is to train the child to complete these tasks alone without relying on or resorting to parents for help or to do so, and this is what builds a responsible and reliable personality in the child when he grows up.

Parents don't have to do all the things

It is not right for parents to do all the things for the child or to become an outside person, but to leave some small actions or tasks for the child to do so that the child becomes a responsible and reliable personality and a person with decisions. For example, when there is a small problem with a friend, it is preferable to advise the child on right and wrong through mutual discussion to reach a solution to this problem and let the child make the right decision to solve it until he realizes how to solve problems, when they should make decisions, and what the right decisions are. This is one of the most important responsibilities of the family.

Make tough decisions

When parents make decisions that may anger the child, this does not mean that parents should provide explanations for this decision because it is always in the interest of the child, but he does not realize that at the time, and when the child is angry with this decision or guidance, it also does not mean that the decision is wrong or that parents are not doing the right thing, for example, when preventing the child more than once not to make a movement or do something wrong and after repeating this act, the sinner and punishment of the child should not provide justification or explanation of why you refused to do so.

Teach your child to work independently

One of the important roles in the responsibility of parents is to develop the child's hobbies or encourage him to do some good and appropriate skills for each age group of the child and make him do them under the supervision of parents so that he depends on himself and becomes a more independent child, but parents must also develop these skills gradually with the passage of time until he becomes more experienced and successful in them, and thus this skill will grow with him throughout his life.

Child accountability

The child must always be held accountable towards his actions and behavior and do some actions or reactions towards certain sites in order to develop the perception of the action towards right and wrong, advise him of what is to be done and what should not be done, rationalize his behavior when doing something wrong and establish a discussion between children and parents when situations occur in which advice is required from parents. In these cases, parents can use some firm phrases such as

Lower your voice

You are punished from now on.

You can't watch TV

You can't talk like that

Stop doing this.

Apologize to a specific person

Of course, these are minor consequences for the child, but until he realizes the result of his actions or what he has done wrong.

Encourage the child to resist fears

There are some children that are afraid when doing certain things or afraid of coming to some simple things that carry them any kind of danger, and the role of the family here comes in breaking or removing this fear gradually without sharpness or exposure of the child to this thing directly. For example, some children may be afraid of the doll or of going to amusement parks, so here parents should focus on finding a way to break this fear without the child feeling any danger directly or indirectly, and parents should not feel any blame when the child feels a little fear until he gets used to it.

Do your best

The role of the family here lies in teaching the child that exerting maximum effort towards the tasks to be performed is not a bad thing, and this is until you achieve the desired goal and success. You must also advise on balancing between doing a lot and doing a little sometimes, and the child must realize that doing the maximum effort is not a bad or cruel thing and that the results are as important as the effort.
