that decision making is shared equally.

Mrs. Dela Cruz, a PerDev teacher, explains that each adult has to develop
quality social relationships with peers, family, school, and community. Said relationship
focuses around closeness, shared experiences, communication, respect, humor, and
affection.

The teacher added that to manifest closeness one has to show care, loyalty, trust
to people, shared feelings, support during trying times, shared goals, beliefs, and
recognition as well as respect for individual differences.

Further, it was emphasized by Mrs. Dela Cruz that in shared experiences, an

individual shares common interests, talks about experiences and shows respect to other
individual’s interests. One also has to be honest and listens to what the other person
says.

Subsequently, the teacher further explains that a person necessitates to use

respectful language and act in ways that do not demean others, understands friends or
partner’s wishes and feelings, and should be ready to compromise or meet the other
half-way when conflict or argument will arise. Additionally,one has to enjoy the company
or presence of each other by sharing pleasantries. As a footnote, the teacher said: “Show
to your partner or friend the needed affection (love, care and respect)”

 Tremendous physical, psychological, emotional, and social changes occur
dramatically in adolescent stages. With adolescence comes puberty, expanded cognitive
abilities, and a new sense of self and personal identity, increase expectations at work and
in school. Relationships with parents and peers also change. Adolescents gain social
skills as they mature.

Quality relationships give beneficial outcomes such as psychological health,

improved academic performance and success in adult relationships. The absence of
quality relationships is associated with negative outcomes such as delinquency and
psychological issues.

Answer​ ​the​ ​following​ ​questions​ ​succinctly​.

Briefly explain each.
2) How do quality relationships influence positive outcomes?
3) Explain this quote “Quality relationship promotes excellent people and higher

Family​ ​Structures
Everybody knows how important a family is. My classmate, who was born out of
wedlock, has asked me how it feels having a complete family. I almost cannot utter a
simple word because I knew how and what he felt at that time when he asked me such a
question. Nevertheless, I answered him candidly but assured him that not all nuclear
families live the way he thinks.

I was reminded of the lecture of my teacher in Understanding Culture subject that

there are three (3) types of family in terms of membership. These are; the nuclear family,
single parent family and the extended family. By definition, Nuclear Family is the
traditional type of family structure. This consists of two parents, never separated, and
children. The nuclear family was long held in esteem by society as being the ideal in
which to raise children.

The Single-Parent Family, at one hand, consists of one parent raising one or
more children on his/her own. Often, a single parent family is a mother with her children,
although there are single fathers as well. Single parent families are generally close. They
find ways to work together.

On the other hand, Extended Family structure consists of two or more adults who
are related, either by blood or marriage, living in the same home. This family includes
many relatives living together and working toward common goals, such as raising the
children and keeping up with the household duties.

Let’s​ ​try​ ​how​ ​much​ ​you​ ​can​ ​remember.

1) How nuclear family type differs from a single-parent family?

2) Who composes the extended family and what are the roles of its members?

Discuss your insights with your classmates and teachers during the online forum or
discussion.

I always remember what my teacher in Values Education said in her class

oneafternoon.Shesaidthatwhenwe areborn,wedo nothaveyetthesetof values expected
from us because we learn them from our parents or adults who raise us. Yes, she was
right because we learn these from our elders. We learn by examples and by watching or
observing them at home.
Yes, the family plays a greater role in shaping a child into a responsible and
productive adult. The family is a child’s first role model. They do not only set examples
but they give every child an opportunity to make important choices and decisions.
Parents are the child’s first teachers and whatever the child learns at home will forever be
carried on and handed down to the generations to come.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED?

Explain how you developed personal relationships with the persons around you
based on the diagram below.

Use this space for your discussion​.
