It is difficult enough to overestimate the importance of the family in the life of each person. The presence of a strong and united family is one of the most important basic psychological needs. After all, this is a huge source of energy. And it is the family that is the most important tool for the socialization of man, and also here it is formed not only as a person, but also as a citizen. Therefore, on September 20, 1993, the UN General Assembly decided to create the International Family Day holiday. It was decided to celebrate the family day every year, and the date of the holiday was determined on May 15.
The purpose of this decision was to attract the attention of the world community to the large number of problems that arise in families. The whole world today faces the problems of single-parent families and a large number of divorces. Also, civil marriages are gaining popularity among young people. And the reason for this is the desire of young people to avoid responsibility. All this leads to the fact that the most vulnerable groups of the population - children, old people and pregnant women suffer.
How to spend a family day?
This holiday is not a "red" day of the calendar, but this does not mean that it should not be celebrated. The state makes every effort to popularize this event. On this day, there are thematic events aimed at solving family problems and organizing joint recreation. Conducting fairs offer participation in various recreational activities involving every family member. For youth, an explanation is made of existing state programs that stimulate the creation of families and the birth of children. Such activities are always attended by psychologists who teach parents to interact with each other and educate their children. Also there are interesting master classes and competitions that help to feel each member of the family a certain connection with each other. Joint visits to such events will help to identify and solve problems that arise in a particular family.
In addition, the World Family Day can be held according to its own plan. The main thing is that the rest was family. Every day after a hard day's work we try to rest, doing our favorite thing, and there is not enough time and energy for a full-fledged family communication. Therefore, on Family Day, a successful decision will be to move away from everyday vanity somewhere in the country. You can fry shish kebabs together, sharing your thoughts and feelings. And in breaks it will be interesting to diversify leisure time by playing badminton, volleyball or other favorite pastime. Or visit an amusement park where children will rest and have fun on the carousel, and parents will rejoice at looking at them. An excellent decision to spend this holiday will be a joint trip to the cinema for a family film or comedy. At the same time, everyone can distract themselves from their problems and share their impressions of what they saw with their relatives. A joint trip to the exhibition or to the local history museum will be interesting and informative
Even if you can not get everything done in one day, do not be discouraged. You can move something for the next weekend. And it does not matter what day the family is. This holiday can be organized for oneself, because in order to give time to loved ones, it is not enough one day in a year. In the life of every person there is nothing more valuable than the family and it is necessary to make every effort to save it. And together spent time and communication will help in this as well as possible.
