Family Interventions

Executive Summary

The paper describes the impact of family intervention on the child and society. The family in the traditional sense is a nucleus based entity, which provides a healthy and stable environment for the children. The parents are supposed to share their responsibilities, to ensure that their children attain the basic needs and rights, so that they can experience a happy childhood. Various researches have given importance to the family intervention that plays an important role in boosting up the self esteem of the child. Moreover, it is observed that Family intervention research has been constrained by the lack of methods and measures to adequately capture the multiple interactions within the family, measures that do not adequately assess cultural and ethnic variations in families, and the need for advanced statistical methods to analyze circular interactions and recurring patterns of behavior. Research has focused that the family is the primary agent of socialization of the child. Parents give examples of pro-social or antisocial. They also play a powerful role in terms of reward or punish children for their conduct. Longitudinal studies show every time those children whose parents are struggling to show warm and do not adequately monitor or impose appropriate discipline with a high risk of delinquency.

Finally, moral discourses around the family and gender norms facilitate adaptation to the new structural conditions. Economic and labor market changes have produced a crisis in masculine identity, which flexible gender discourses around active fathering can help to resolve (White, 2008).

It is a fact that the family provides the first, and most important, social, emotional, interpersonal, economic and cultural human development and as a result, family relationships have a profound influence on the welfare of children.
