Introduction

Family is the single most important influence in a child's life. From their first moments of life, children depend on parents and family to protect them and provide for their needs. Parents and family form a child's first relationships. They are a child's first teachers and act as role models in how to act and how to experience the world around them. By nurturing and teaching children during their early years, families play an important role in making sure children are ready to learn when they enter school.

But one of the most important factors of the family, especially the human is the ability to communicate with other beings, a phenomenon that will allow one to then adapt to the society they live in other individuals. It is estimated that the newborn usually tends to take a while to understand that the mother is a being other than himself and that's where plays a fundamental role the father, separating but also allowing the baby slowly understand that is part of something bigger than himself.

Family, parents especially, we learn to be more responsible, more independent. Some people are faster than others, but it is acquired sooner or later, thanks to the family. It is the parents who guide children in their experiments, but also in learning through their mistakes.
