Conclusion

The family is the first institution a person will ever see when he starts remembering things as a young child. It is here that he will first experience happiness and his first grief. As he grows up, he will understand how important the bond of family is, and what it requires to remain strong. Keeping a family happy isn’t only the responsibility of one or two persons; it is the responsibility of each member. Each parent has a role in keeping the family bonded and the children should also take part in keeping that bond.

A happy family is not just described as a big house with each family members living inside. They may have all the riches in the world, they may be able to travel anywhere on the world map, and buy anything no matter how expensive it is. Sure this can make anyone in a family happy, but riches just cannot give you everything in life.

A happy family, no matter the social status, has its members together for quality time. It doesn’t matter if there is only one child or 10 children, as long as they are happy together forgetting the problems momentarily and having a good time. Even if the kids have grown up and have their own families, a family will still be considered happy if they can once in a while come to their old house and stroll down memory lane when they were still little ones.

Wealth doesn’t determine the happiness of the family. There are many stories about a man who had a lot of wealth but was unhappy because he is all alone in his mansion. He has a family, but they were all living away from him. On the other hand, there are families living together in a hut without many things at home except for just enough food, but one may see all members laughing most of the time.  Being happy with your own family is all about emotion and love. No material item can replace them.

As a person grows old, he creates a family of his own. He will be a parent whose responsibility is to keep each family member bonded. However, he/she should keep in mind of his/her role as a child in the previous family he/she had. Old people are more sensitive and as they spend the rest of their lives at home, they remember more of their younger years with their little ones. They at least spend a day each year together with everyone to keep each family member happy with stories and funny experiences of the past.

A family can be considered a happy one if all members have a strong bond between each other. In addition, proper parenting can only strengthen this bond. Since the parents are matured enough to know what’s right and wrong, it is then their responsibility to teach their children the value of family and kindness.

While the kids are young, they will fight and they will always try to get ahead of each other. This is natural, but if parents do not educate their children about kindness and the value of goodwill, their children will grow up bearing grudges at each other that may lead to serious problems in the long run. This will obviously be a big obstacle to attaining a happy family. Envy and other factors will spark rivalries between siblings. Although this is common among most families, parents should still remind their children to keep their rivalries aside on serious matters. They may fight outside the house, but they should always watch each other’s back when they are outside.

Some siblings have different personalities. For such reason they find it hard or even impossible to get along. They will not be able to fix their gaps at such a young age, and that is where the parents are much needed.

More often, the kids are the ones who make the family happy. For them to have a positive attitude towards life, they should be trained in an environment that is comfortable for them to be able to learn about good things and understand them. Proper parenting is important in almost all aspects of a child’s life until he/she reaches the age where he/she can form a new family.

In a happy family, each member has a unique role to play, but a mother’s role has always proved to be more special compared to others. Not just in a family, but in life itself, a mother’s role is very important in a happy family. Without her, a family would not be as lively and as organized as one with a mother in it. A solid family can support and develop all the members. A mother should keep this in mind as she nurtures her children as they grow up. Raising a daughter is a lot different than raising a son. A mother should always remember to:

• Protect the girls and trust the boys. Sons should be taught early to be more responsible because they will need it as they grow up and eventually have families of their own. Girls, on the other hand, should be protected because of their nature. Although they are also to be taught how to be responsible, girls are more fragile than boys, both physically and emotionally, and they may fall easily to temptation especially if they don’t have a happy and stable family.
  
• Give attention to the child before they even need it. Mothers are naturally intuitive and sensitive especially when it comes to their children’s needs. When parents share special times with their children, they will enjoy all of them in their own way. It is always fun to have quality time with the family.
  
• Give spiritual education and social opportunities that are appropriate to the children’s ages and abilities. It is often said that the parents, particularly the mother, is a child’s first teacher. It is only natural for a mother to teach her children the necessities of life, both physical and spiritual.
  
• Value each child equally. Favoritism creates gaps between parents and children, and one child to another sibling. It will be the mother’s responsibility to make them feel equal in the family so that jealousy won’t have a place inside the home. Each child has his own special needs, and parents should take note of them.
  
• Give praise and credit to each effort the children make. They will succeed and fail in anything they try, but it is important that the mother recognize their efforts regardless of the outcome of what the children did.
  
• Not compare one child to his siblings. Having favorites within the family creates jealousy, and gaps between siblings. Parents should never ever compare their children with each other. Strength comes in different forms, which is why you don’t compare your child’s strength with another’s.
  
• Help children understand that in each age bracket, a child will have different needs. Parents should remind the children of the importance of adjustment.
  
• Orient the children that life will not always go in their favor. It will have ups and downs, sometimes more owns than ups. However, no person will be given a problem that is impossible to solve. A mother should always remind her children not to give in to problems, instead, solve them as how a strong member of the family should.
  

Fathers and mothers go hand in hand in keeping the family bonded and happy. The mother’s job, however, is to keep the bond strong from the inside as she keeps on patching up quickly the problems that need to be fixed before they get bigger and affect the strength of the bond in the family.

When a man gets married, he commits himself to all the responsibilities of a good husband. As he becomes a father, both his and his wife’s responsibilities become bigger.

In a happy family, the father is viewed by his wife as the pillar of the home, the one who supports the family and the one who provides life, and the one who carries them to a bright future. For the children, they view their father as just one thing, a hero. Most fathers are not as close to their children as the children are with their moms, mainly because mothers mostly listen more to their children and are more often left in the house to do the “housekeeping”. As they do this, the fathers work to provide food on the table. Some fathers work in offices while some work in construction sites under the heat of the sun.

Fathers are always viewed as a “person of authority and strength” in the family. Sons want to be like their dads when they themselves become heads of the family. Daughters feel a lot safer with their fathers beside them even in the most stressful situations. Without a father in the home, a family may feel a sense of being prone to any danger that may come their way. As any problem arises to challenge the family, to the father is almost always in the front lines to face them.

A father’s job within the family is to discipline the growing children. While mothers provide a caring figure the children can go to anytime for comfort, fathers are a figure of discipline that should be obeyed by children. While many kids see their father as someone they should fear, they should realize that their dad’s strict rules are there because of his love for them. Although not as expressive of emotions as the mother, a father shares the same level of fear a mother has when any of their children is in a dangerous situation. A father’s hand may not constantly be gentle, but they will always be full of love for the family.

Being a father is not an easy job. Many say the mother does a more difficult work at home compared to the father in the office. The truth is that the level of difficulty and pressure is the same. They both have a responsibility to keep the family strong. While it is natural for a mother to care for and nurture her children, it won’t be the same in a father’s case. As many people have said, any man can become a father, but it takes an extraordinary man to be a “dad”.
