 Lesson

4 You as Part of the Family

The family is a basic unit of the society which consists of the husband, wife or
partners and their children. Each of these members has their assigned roles and
responsibilities. Within a family, everyone assumes these roles.

Every member of the family has its own responsibility. The father, the mother, or the
guardians, same as with the children. As for being a child, what do you think is your
important role in your family.

In this module, you will be able to understand you as an individual member of the
family and your role as part of the household.

What’s In

Look at the different household chores, put a check ( ) on the task that you
usually do at home at cross ( ) if you do not do the task often.

_______ 1. wash plates, kitchenware, utensils, and others

_______ 2. wash personal clothes

_______ 3. clean the surroundings

_______ 4. sweep the floor

_______ 5. repair the broken appliance

_______ 6. take care of siblings or younger cousins

_______ 7. go to market and buy foods for the family

_______ 8. wash family clothes

_______ 9. prepare and cook foods

_______ 10. provide needs of the family

Some of us may be doing all of the task mentioned above, some may be doing some
and some are really not at all. But, whatever task is, still what matters most is that
we should know that we need to do something as part of the family.

 Notes to the Teacher

In this module you will discover your areas of strength and

identify your weaknesses pertaining to studying.

What’s New

As we go through this module, it is important that we define first important aspects

of this lesson.

Family, generally, this consist of father, mother and children. However, as time
passes by, as we adapt the changes in the society. This is a group of people, not
literally father and mother, but, a couple with children or even without. A place where
people gives acceptance, belongingness and love.

Children pertains to the son or daughter, even biological or not, as long as they are
accepted ad been loved as such.

You, yourself is a child, and being a child like me and any other people around the
world who started to become a son or daughter first have our responsibility in our
own family and society.

Do you know your part in your family? Have you done well with your task? But deep
into different chores, we have a more responsibility as a child to our parent. Let us
have a more understanding on our role as an individual in our family.

4
 What is It

Children are the future of a family and our hidden treasures. When they are born,
they are welcomed into the family and as they grow they learn different things from
their parents. These lessons include respect for each other and life in general. Unlike
in the past, today’s parents allow their children to make choices about things they
would or wouldn’t like to do.

However, back then parents made all the decisions about a child’s life. Parents
believed that children must be taught life skills if they were to survive in life. This
meant that a larger part of a child’s day was occupied with work.
That was then. What about the kids that we raise today? Do they carry out the
same responsibilities like children in the past?
Boys are taught to help their fathers with basics like roofing the house, preparing
the fields for planting and tending the livestock. They were trained to understand
the role of the house head, which they will lead as they grew and got married.
Girls on the other hand work very closely with their mothers. This trains them to
run a house hold when they grow up.
Through gardening, cooking and preserving food, tending to younger children,
cleaning and running the home, girls are prepared to manage their future homes.
Though we should keep our children busy working, we should not forget the adage
that, ‘work without play makes Jack a dull boy.’ Let us give them ample time to
balance work and play.

Children are important contributors within a family. Parents are the only ones who
can train their children to understand their responsibility in life. Therefore, ‘make
hay while the sun shines.

5
As children to our parents, we basically have responsibility to them.

Five Duties of Children to Parents:

1. Children have the duty of honoring and respecting father and mother.

"Honour Thy Father And Thy Mother Parent Respect Clip Art - PNG - Download Free". FAVPNG.Com,
2020. https://favpng.com/png_view/parents-honour-thy-father-and-thy-mother-parent-respect-clip-
art-png/YJ0cRjuT.

This is, of course, the essence of the fifth commandment, which has first place in the
second table of the law, governing man’s duty to his fellow man.
The principle embedded in this commandment goes beyond familial duties. As the
catechism points out, it “requires the preserving the honour, and performing the
duties belonging to every one in their several places and relations, as superiors,
inferiors, or equals.” It thus calls not only on the disposition of children toward
parents, but also employees toward their supervisors, church members to their
officers, and citizens to their magistrates.

Children are to show this honor in a respectful attitude toward their parents. They
are to speak respectfully to their parents. One way this is evidences is by using “sir”
and “m’am” when addressing parents and other elders. They are to listen to their
parents when they are spoken to by turning in the direction of their parents with an
open and receptive posture. They are not to speak ill publically of their parents or
to publically disagree with their parents, though they might certainly seek private
entreaty in cases where there might have been injustice or disagreement or need for
further understanding.

A child can bring a parent great joy or he can break a parent’s heart.

The basketball coaching legend John Wooden told of visiting a star recruit. The
young man was terribly rude to his parents. In the end Wooden did not offer the
young star a scholarship. His reasoning, “If he could not be respectful to his parents,
then he most likely would not be respectful toward me as a coach.”

2. Children have the duty of obeying father and mother.

Exporter". Car News - SBT Japan Japanese Used Cars Exporter, 2020.
https://blog.sbtjapan.com/news/how-to-teach-children-street-safety-while-walking.

In the household codes of the NT, the operative term that is used to describe the
appropriate disposition of a child to the parent is obedience:
Ephesians 6:1: “Children, obey (hupakouo) your parents in the Lord for this is right.”

Colossians 3:20: “Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing
unto the Lord.”

Again, it has been rightly said that delayed obedience is disobedience. This is the
problem with the modern disciplinary method of “counting to three.” It teaches that
obedience may be delayed. We should teach our children from an early age quickly
to obey. As a child grows older, into the teen years, it is not inappropriate for a child
respectfully to seek explanation and reasoning on any command they might not
understand or need to clarify. But this should only be done respectfully and with a
spirit of, “Yes, I will do what you ask, but I would seek this clarification.”

7
3. Children have the duty of listening to the counsel of father and mother.

Clipart - Dreamstime". Child Parent Talking Stock Illustrations – 574 Child Parent Talking Stock
Illustrations, Vectors & Clipart - Dreamstime, 2020. https://www.dreamstime.com/illustration/child-
parent-talking.html.

It has often been said that one’s parents get wiser and wiser the older you get.
A wise child will realize that he has much to learn from the counsel of his parents.
A wise child will seek the counsel of his parents in his education, vocational calling
finances, marriage prospects, etc. Of course, when he marries a son leaves the
household of his mother and father and establishes his own household, seeking the
counsel of his wife, even over that of his parents. Still, even after marriage he can
see his parents as valuable resources. Certainly, in the best circumstances, the
parents are to be a spiritual resource and example to children.

8
4. Children have the duty of caring for father and mother in their old age.

https://favpng.com/png_view/honor-the-elderly-to-serve-their-parents-comics-old-age-parent-filial-
piety-png/mY7FMyZs.

The Bible was, of course, written before the days of the social safety net. The burden
of care for aging parents from a Biblical perspective is not the duty of the state but
of the children. We are to do this to the degree that providential circumstances will
allow.

Compare some of Paul’s teaching on care for widows:

KJV 1 Timothy 5:3 Honour widows that are widows indeed. 4 But if any widow have
children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their
parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.
He then adds:
KJV 1 Timothy 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his
own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
When you become a parent you realize how much your parents did for you. In the
natural process of time, the tables begin to turn and you may be given opportunity
to serve them even as they served you.

9
5. Where there have been failure and breaches, children have the duty of
understanding and forgiving father and mother.

daughter-cartoon/.

Part of personal emotional and spiritual maturity is coming to the realization that
your parents were not perfect and perhaps did not do all perfectly in your upbringing
and yet extending to them forgiveness and grace.
If a child thinks that his or her parents are not treating all children in the family
equally, then it is the child's duty to humbly bring this to the attention of the parents.
The child should share his concerns. With clarification he might find that his
assumption was wrong. Parents are not perfect, however, they make mistakes. They
sin. If this is humbly called to their attention, perhaps they will address the situation
and make things right.

If this is a real problem and parents continue to treat children unfairly, this might
just be a trial or cross that the child who lack their partiality will have to bear with
God's help. At the least it provides a negative example of what the child does not
want to do with his own children when he becomes a parent.

 What’s More

Let us read analyze the following situations. Write your perception on the scenarios

A child never had a chance to meet his father for 20 years for some personal
reason. On that situation, he keeps on asking his mother about his father, but the
mother doesn’t want to give any details. Luckily, a rare chance comes as the father
look after him to explain what happened. The child was able to forgive him and accept
him, but, her mother does not. If you are the child on the situation, how will you
explain to your mother about the forgiveness you give to your father?
