Let’s Learn

Read the article provided for you here. Find out what the article is all about.

What should make up a strong family that possesses good family values? It is the family that
sustains its members, that supports and nourishes each other throughout the span of that family. A strong
family unit has to create a safe, positive, and supportive place for all members to thrive. They are able to
utilize resources and together in a fairly healthy manner.

The adults in a strong family set the tone. They are good role models that lead by example. They
reach out to friends and community and teach their children the importance of doing the same- and that
becomes part of who the children are. They work together to solve the problems, and they pass their skills
on to the next generation. Some important elements of a strong family system are the family cohesion,
family flexibility, and family communication.

Cohesion- In families, cohesion would be defined as the feeling of being loved, of belonging to the group
and being nurtured by it. Although closeness is good in a family unit, there must be a balance between
being together and beings separate. A person must be able to develop their individuality, while being
supported and confident within the family. A few things that bring a family together are the commitment of
other family members , and the spending of time together.

Flexibility- There must be a structure in a family or it will become chaotic and will not be a peaceful setting
for family. Conversely, there must be flexibility or the family becomes rigid and the authority figures are
resented. We could compare a successful family to a democracy. There are leaders are in charge all
members to develop the ability to cope with stress, and at times lead. While the family works to avoid
stressful situation they work together to solve problems, without blaming, criticizing, and finding fault each
other. Families that tend to have strong spiritual base seem to have a sense of well-being that facilitates
this working together in times of stress.

Communication- Ever hear the saying, “What we have here is a failure to communicate?” A lack of
communication can rip a family apart and destroy them. Things that facilitate communication are the things
mentioned so far- family closeness, flexibility, time spent together, spirituality. All members must feel a
freedom within the group to express themselves freely.

Another very important factor is the relationship between the “head” couple. In a family that is
parented by a happily married couple, people are able to express themselves more freely. What they might
say isn’t filtered through the problems of the “guardians.” A happy marriage seems to set the tone in the
house. It spills over from the family to the community and a healthy family will be reaching out to help
others. They do not tend to isolate themselves from the rest of the world.

A very important thing for families to teach their children is how to make good decisions. If they
have watched their parents making well thought out decisions over the years, they will tend to be good
decision makers themselves.

A healthy, happy family benefits our whole society. Among the children of strong families there is
less crime, less divorce and less emotional problems. They tend to go on and have strong, healthy families
of their own, having learned from their folk’s example.
