Scene 2

It is an active and informal agency. The family is the oldest, basic and fundamental unit of human society. It consists of the husband, wife, children together with all the young and old dependents. They are related to one another in one way or the other. In some old societies even servants were included in the family.  Thus, family may be regarded as a small social group consisting of a few related persons.  In our country, the picture of a family is more or less the same.

Scene 3

“By family we mean a system of relationship existing between parents and children”                                                                                                                                                         Clare “The family is a group defined by sex relationship sufficiently precise and enduring to provide for the procreation and upbringing of children”. MacIver & Page “A family is a group of persons united by the ties of marriage, blood or adoption consisting a single household interacting and in intercommunication with each other in their respective social role of husband and wife, mother and father, son and daughter, brother and sister creating and maintaining a common culture”.  Burges & Locke

Different Views on the Importance of Family in the Education of the Child

“Education begins at birth and the proper nurse is the mother.” Rousseau “Home- a centre of love and affection, is the best place and the first school of the child.”                Pestalozi “Mother are the ideal teachers and the informal education given by home is most effective and natural”. Froebel “Child learns the first lesson of citizenship between the kiss of mother and the care of father.” Mazini

Scene 9

“The home is the soil in which spring up those virtues of which “Sympathy” is the common characteristics. It is there that the warmest and most intimate affection flourish. It is there that child learns the difference between generosity and meanness, considerateness and selfishness, justice and injustice, truth and falsehood, industry and idleness. It is there that his habitual learning of the one or the other of these is first determined”.  T.Raymont
