Topic: “Family is a very good school”
Discussion

What do you think about the role of the mother, the father in a family?
What does the family affect to the education and the personalization of a child?
What is the role of each family in a social community?
Topic: “Family is a very good school”
Suggested Ideas
Family is a school. The role of the mother is of utmost importance. She’s both a mother and an educator. The child’s immaturity of mind has been deeply influenced by the mother’s lullabies and by the first lesson. The father’s advice is also the aim for the child’s future development in his/her career.
Family is a good school. All the members of the family don’t teach the child subjects as school does but the influences of family upon the child’s mind are undeniable. It is in family, not in school that the child can learn good habits and customs together with mutual love and support.
