That the family is the basis of society, we already know it. That she is the foundation and first school in the life of any human being, too. But why is the family so important for the development and training of children and adolescents?
Worrying about children is something natural in the family. Parents dream of the conquests they will have as adults, they want a bright future and they want the most beautiful victories for their children. Create a routine as or more agitated as top executives, with language classes, sports, arts, and others, so that you are prepared in the future for the job market.source
Essential skills for the future
What socio-emotional skills need to be developed early?
They are the most complex intelligence skills such as: think before acting and reacting, put yourself in the place of the other (empathy), capable of overcoming losses and frustrations and interpreting behaviors and feelings (your own and those of others).

It is also important to promote: self-confidence, self-esteem, self-criticism, entrepreneurial stance, among others. All these functions and abilities are able to lead children to develop healthy intra and interpersonal relationships, based on ethics and honesty, without expecting too much of the counterpart.
In this way, the child grows up knowing how to respect different perspectives, discuss and not impose ideas, resolve conflicts, work as a team and many other teachings that contribute to being leaders of themselves. Next, see some of the most important action points.
Cognitive development
It is within the family environment that children begin to develop their skills. Therefore, it is essential that they are stimulated, then in the first steps, to also strengthen the noblest functions of their intelligence.
Aspects such as language, reasoning, the ability to abstract and solve problems are fostered in the family environment. It is known that, from birth, the baby begins to learn and that this practice only ends at the end of life. The human being is curious, investigative and apt to absorb information, but the first years of life are essential to promote the development of intelligence

Emotional intelligence
The best way to train emotionally smart children is to teach them to educate their emotions when they are still young, but it is never too late for that initiative. In the same way that we care about the physical well-being of our children, we must think about their emotional well-being, how they protect their emotions and how they relate to the world around them.

It is essential that families invest in the emotional health of their children, contributing to the prevention of depression, stress, anxiety, phobia, aggression, among other psychological disorders.

For this, it is important to understand that children need to experience their childhood. They need to invent, take risks, get frustrated, have time to play and love life. The participation of the family in the development of the children is essential since it is an irreplaceable part in the life of any individual. This means being able to dedicate more time to our children: play more with them, take them for a walk, get out of the routine easily, but meaningfully, with the aim of showing love and affection. That is, the family needs to be attentive and available to promote the physical, intellectual and emotional development of their children.
