Family Relationship
A child first learns about loving and caring relationships from family. A child,
who is nurtured, respected and grows up to care for others and develop strong and
healthy relationships.
The organization of a family has a direct effect on children. The first social
relationship of children is familial, where they acquire their first experiences of being
treated as persons in their own right. Children receive care for their dependency

life affect their handling of certain issues. This ability equips children for establishing
later ties with people outside the family. (Mahalikali, K., Family Influences on the

behavior problems, which include depression and poor school performance. Such
children tend to have more social difficulties and more problematic relationships to

needs may be seek in the community by illegitimate means. The children may exhibit
