Family psychology
Family is the first school of life
In the New Psychology DREVO, the family is viewed as a natural environment in which a person’s personality is formed.
It is in the family that a child first becomes acquainted with love, trust, security, responsibility, cooperation and mutual respect.
The family is not only a union of people, but also a space for the transmission of life, culture, values and life experience from generation to generation.
The main task of the family
The main task of the family is to create conditions in which each member can safely develop, reveal their abilities and become a mature individual.
The family should help a person:
- to feel loved;
- feel safe;
- learn responsibility;
- respect others;
- develop independence;
- to reveal one's abilities;
- prepare for adult life.
The foundation of a healthy family
A healthy family is built on several principles.
Love
Love is not just a feeling.
It is daily care, respect and a desire to contribute to the development of another person.
Trust
Without trust, it is impossible to create a sense of psychological security.
Trust comes from honesty, openness and keeping your promises.
Responsibility
Each family member is responsible for their words, actions and contribution to the general well-being.
Responsibility does not mean control.
It means being willing to take care of each other.
Freedom
- Every person has the right to remain an individual.
- Love does not require giving up one's own individuality.
- A healthy family supports the development of each individual.
Cooperation
Family is a team.
Its strength is determined not by who is in charge, but by how well its members are able to negotiate, help each other, and jointly solve emerging problems.
The role of parents
- Parents are the child's first mentors.
- The main method of education is not words, but personal example.
- Children first of all adopt the lifestyle of adults.
- Therefore, education begins with educating oneself.
The role of children
Children are not the property of their parents, but independent individuals.
The family's task is to help the child discover his or her abilities, teach them to think independently, make decisions, and gradually take responsibility for their own lives.
Conflicts
Conflicts are inevitable in any family.
They arise because each person has their own needs, views and experiences.
The goal of the family is not to avoid conflicts at any cost, but to learn to resolve them through respectful dialogue, mutual understanding, and the search for fair solutions.
Every conflict can be an opportunity to better understand each other and strengthen relationships.
Family traditions
Shared holidays, common activities, travel, family stories and rituals strengthen the sense of unity.
They create emotional memories of the family and help children feel a sense of belonging to something greater than themselves.
Family and Society
Strong families become the foundation of a strong society.
It is in the family that future citizens, scientists, teachers, entrepreneurs, artists, engineers and parents of the next generation are formed.
Therefore, caring for the family is at the same time caring for the future of society.
The main principle
Family does not exist for mutual control or to satisfy each other's expectations.
It exists for joint development.
Each family member helps others become healthier, freer, more responsible and happier.
It is in such a family that love becomes not only a feeling, but also a daily practice of creation.
Definition
A family is a voluntary union of people based on love, trust, respect, responsibility and cooperation, the purpose of which is the mutual development of the individual, the upbringing of a new generation and the preservation of life, culture and human values.
In DREVO's New Psychology, the family is viewed as the first and most important human ecosystem. The healthier this ecosystem, the greater the opportunities for the harmonious development of each member and society as a whole.
