Family Structures and Legacies
Family Structures
One Filipino family trait that is known across different races is establishing and having strong family ties.
Family came from the Latin word familia which means group of people living in the household . Family could be related by blood, or birth or by other relationship.
Family is the basic unit of society . It is the smallest organization in the community. It is said to be a group of individual living together in one household.
Family comes in different forms. It could vary from one family to another. It is usually composed of mother, father and children, some other includes grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and other relatives.
Types of Family Structures Family structures differ from one family to another, that’s why, we should not compare our family with that of others. The following table lists the different family structures.
Family The most important people in the lives of young children are their parents. From birth, children depend on their mothers and fathers. There are also people that act parent roles in caring and protecting children’s overall well-being. They are known as “ guardians ”.
Each of us have legacies passed from our ancestors, from generation to generation such as culture, traditions, and customs. No matter who we are, where we live, we have one thing in common-- heritage.
This heritage is transferred to us by our parents whether good, bad. This heritage is also called l egacy , and this could be passed to us socially, emotionally or spiritually.
Transferring positive legacy to children is a delicate and important task of adults in the family. It helps dictate the future progress and development of a child.
It is important to remember that passing on a spiritual, emotional, and social legacy is a process, not an event. If parents do not intentionally pass a legacy consistent to their beliefs, culture will pass along its own, often leading to a negative end. Parents are responsible on the process; God is responsible for the product .
The Emotional Legacy In order to prosper, children need an enduring sense of security and stability nurtured in an environment of safety and love.
A strong emotional legacy: provides a safe environment in which deep emotional roots can grow fosters confidence through stability conveys a tone of trusting support nurtures a strong sense of positive identity creates a “resting place” for the soul demonstrates unconditional love
The Social Legacy To really succeed in life, children need to learn more than management strategies, accounting, reading, writing, and geometry. They need to learn the art of relating to people-- the art of socialization. If they learn how to relate well to others, they’ll have advantage in living life.
Key building blocks of children’s social legacy include: respect, beginning with themselves and working out to other people responsibility, fostered by respect for themselves, that is cultivated by assigning children duties within the family, making them accountable for their actions, and giving them room to make wrong choices once in a while
Key building blocks of children’s social legacy include: unconditional love and acceptance by their parents, combined with conditional acceptance when the parents discipline for bad behavior or actions the setting of social boundaries concerning how to relate to God, authority, peers, the environment and siblings rules that are given within a loving relationship
The Spiritual Legacy The Spiritual Legacy is the least in priority, but that’s a mistake. As spiritual beings, we adopt attitudes and beliefs about spiritual matters from one person or another. Parents need to take the initiative and present faith to their children.
Parents who successfully pass along a spiritual legacy to their children model and reinforce the unseen realities of the godly life. We must recognize that passing a spiritual legacy means more than encouraging our children to attend church, as important as that is. The church is there to support parents in raising their children but it cannot do the raising; only parents can. Parents are primary in spiritual upbringing. Children, perceive God the way they perceive their parents. If parents are loving, affirming, forgiving and yet strong in what they believe, children will think of God that way.
Here are five things you do that predict whether your children will receive the spiritual legacy a Christian parent desires. Do you: Acknowledge and reinforce spiritual realities? Do your children know, for example, that Jesus loves everyone? That God is personal, loving and will forgive us? View God as a personal, caring being who is to be loved and respected? Make spiritual activities a routine part of life? Clarify timeless truth — what’s right and wrong? Incorporate spiritual principles into everyday living.
