Guide Book for Teachers of Family Life Education (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Guide Book for Teachers of Family Life EducationFamily life is a basic social unit which we wish to maintain and strengthen. It is basic because it has almost all the control Of the child's early development. It continues its influence on the child's development throughout his contacts with church, school and community. It forms a needed emotional tie for human beings. It is the unit for providing food, shelter, clothing and early education.Family life is facing increasing difficulties in getting along. Standards for necessities have been raised. People want more things and more experiences. There are more ways to spend money, more things to buy, more available services if you can pay for them. There are more forces that tend to compete with or break down family life.The family has fewer ties that hold it together. The economic tie is much weaker. Women are less dependent on men for their support and men are less dependent on women for their services in the home. The law, the church and public Opinion are less strict about divorce. Other agencies offer services formerly performed by the family such as health services, making clothes, canning, and growing foods.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
