“A child learns new skills by imitating parents. This mechanism is incorporated in a person at the genetic level.

It is logical to conclude that we have a father’s walk, because the child watched and studied with his father. It also happens with family values. They need not only to verbally declare. According to this standard, the parents themselves must live. Firstly decide what it means for you” the psychologist says.

Of great importance are the relationships within the family, the moral priorities of parents, which form in children such concepts as trust, love, mutual assistance, respect and kindness – fundamental for each person. It is the family that creates the life model for the child, forms social skills and moral qualities, develops an understanding of the role of the family and its significance.

According to the results of opinion polls, family traditions are not in the first place for many people, today they are often crowded out by careers, therefore it is important for responsible parents to understand that in order to preserve family traditions, as an important sphere of life, it is first necessary to be an example to follow for children.

“What is good for one family is disastrous for another. Therefore, if you want the kid to live by your ideals, be an example, and not just on occasion, but every day” adds Lana Zupko.
