Responsible Parenthood • For married couples
and Reproductive Family planning is a preparation for
Health Act (RA 10354) responsible
parenthood. When a couple agrees to practice
this,
they will only have the number of children they
can
afford to support. Therefore, there will be no
unwanted pregnancy for the couple. They will
still
have enough time to enjoy each other’s
company
without having too many children to attend to.
• For the mother
Family planning helps the mother maintain
good
health and gives her sufficient time between
pregnancies to recover from the strain of
children.
Taking a two-to three-year interval for delivery
helps
a mother to recover and regain health. It gives
her
the freedom to have children only when she
wants
them and only when she is ready for them. It
also
gives her opportunity to attend her own needs.
• For the children
Through family planning, the children get
quality
time and attention from their parents and they
are
better taken care of. The parents could meet the
basic needs of the children, which are food,
clothing,
and shelter. In addition, children can receive
the
health care that they need. The parents can
provide
them with a good education. More importantly,
What is It
children will be showered with love and will
receive
proper attention from their parents.
• For the father
Family planning helps the father shoulder his
responsibility and enables him to give his
children
equal attention. It also lightens the burden in
supporting his family as there are only a few to
support. It gives his family a better home,
education,
and good future, thus, keeping the family
happy and
contented.
• For the community
Family planning improves the economic and
social status of the community. It can provide a
peaceful, orderly, and self-sustaining
community
with fewer problems, like juvenile
delinquency. The
 community will be a healthy place to live in
with more
land, open spaces between houses, playground,
sanitation, and less pollution. Peace and order
are of
paramount importance in every community.
• For the country, and the world
With the rapid growth of population in the
country and the world, resources are being
used
more rapidly, health problems also worsen as
modern medicine is not able to keep pace with
the
health crisis, population growth has been a
source of
numerous economic problems. By observing
family
planning for community, the use of resources
like
land, food, and fuel can be reduced and
sanitation
control would be effective. There would be
fewer
countries suffering from starvation brought
about by
population explosion.
