This article is about the importance of family. Family is a sacred thing that precedes everything in life. When you are in moments in your life that are hard, unfortunate, or moments of joy, it is always the family that is present. Therefore, each of us must know the importance of the family.
In this article, the author tells us about family by exploiting the importance of family. According to him, there are several types of families. According to him, there are several types of families. He justifies the importance of the family by demonstrating the fact that the family is present no matter what happens and also it is the one who understands you at all costs. In addition, the family protects you from any danger. This is why the author shared his article with us to demonstrate how essential the family is.
hi, Diongue, Thank u bring this article for us, it made me realize the significance of family, our family not only gives birth to me, but also occupies an important part in our lives. I love the quote “These bonds are important because family helps us get through the most disastrous times and the best times.” Both in the best of times we can celebrate with our family and at the same time our family can give us support when we are sad. My family will always be an integral part of my life.
That seems a great article Diongue. I believe that family is essential too. They make us who we are and help no matter what.
Here some good and happy example about adoption. When I watch I feel really happy. It’s really matter people have good heart and they open for child.
In my opinion I can’t see anything wrong tell kids they are adopted. As much as you giving your love and support it’s beautiful. Even if you have your on child and you made bad parenting it’s horrible. I think blood doesn’t matter, only love matter.
At the beginning of this video Johnson Chong mentions that more than a quarter of American adults have experienced family estrangement, whether from one or both parents, siblings or relatives. The primary causes are emotional abuse, personality and values conflicts, mismatched expectations and possible physical/sexual trauma. He makes the point that toxic family relationships are similar to unspoken unilateral contracts filled with expectations and obligations that prevent us from living the lives we are supposed to live without reservation. As a gay man, he was afraid of disappointing his traditional Chinese parents, but Johnson Chong had to present himself to his family as a heterosexual son who would abide by traditional Chinese traditions.
As a Chinese I feel very deeply, in Chinese tradition we need the ideal child of our parents, like Johnson said we have to learn an instrument when we are young, so do I. I learned piano and whenever I was practicing piano, my parents would scold me if I played a wrong note, which made me grow to hate playing piano, so I don’t play piano now. My parents set a lot of constraints for me, which made me feel bound. And I don’t really know how I should break these traditions….

Family is an integral part of life and is always there when times are tough. Having a strong support system of family is essential to helping us get through difficult situations in life. It’s important to recognize the importance of the family and its role in the overall well-being of each individual. Families can provide support, guidance, and a sense of belonging that are essential for a healthy and fulfilling life. It can shape the way we think, feel, act, and interact with the world around us. Growing up in an environment where a person’s family members acknowledge and support their successes and validate their emotions helps to build a strong foundation for good mental health. On the other hand, being raised in an environment where family members are not supportive, do not accept differences, or fail to validate emotions can lead to feelings of insecurity and low self-esteem.
Additionally, a strong family bond can help build strong friendships with those outside of the family. Those who have a strong family unit that provides love and support are more likely to reach out and make connections with those who are not in their family. Having these connections can help a person to gain a better understanding of the world and to develop healthy relationships with others. Furthermore, developing these relationships can also help to increase self-confidence and there can be positive benefits. To summarize, the family is an essential part of life and its members should be valued for their support, guidance, and unconditional love.
The TedTalk “Sibling Bond” by Jeffrey Kluger, talked about how important sibling relationships are in shaping personality and the effects sibling bonds have on shaping each other’s future. Jeffery explained how parents always a favorite child have even if they don’t realize and stated the effects of relationships between different aged siblings shaping personality through sibling interactions and parent interactions.
I enjoyed this TedTalk video very much because I have three children and the bond they form and will have forever is very important for me. I see how my younger twins copy their older brother and how much they enjoy his attention and friendship. They love to wrestle with each other but when someone starts crying, they stop to comfort each other. All of my children have very different personalities and Jeffery’s speech helped me to realize and understand how bonds and personality shapes our futures. I believe what Jeffrey explained about siblings having each other from beginning to end, because even when my husband and I die from old age our children will still have each other and their own families to support each other. My sister and myself live on other sides of the planet but we are still always there for each other.

This article talks about the importance of having a good relationship with your family members and how you can improve these relationships. A lot of parents try to avoid the “mistakes” that their parents did it with them. Some people spend most of their childhood seeing their parents fight and when they grow up they saw what it made to them so they try to avoid this with their children.
I think that’s a great article because it makes us see that our behavior close to children or even the way to talk to them makes them who they will be.
