 LESSON 1 – Family Resources and Needs

GUIDE CARD
GGUIDE

Proper management of family’s resources is one way of taking care

of the family. Resources are things, ideas or qualities possessed by an
individual or a family. These can also be in the form of services or
properties used to produce goods and services to meet the needs and
wants of man. If these resources are well-managed by every member
of the family, the family will then have a happy and satisfying life.

Learning how to manage home is one of the important roles we must learn in life.
Proper management of home means proper utilization of family members’ material and
non –material resources while developing each other’s interests and making use of their
capabilities. But, how can this be done? How can each member of the family contribute
to the effort?

The home serves as the workshop where useful skills are sharpened, positive
attitudes and values are developed, and good habits are formed. Children, young as
they are, must be given simple tasks so that they will learn the importance of having a
responsibility and how their actions can affect other people.

 ACTIVITY CARD
LET’S DO IT!

In your notebook, draw a two – column table. Mark the first

column “ My Needs” and the second column “ My Wants”.
Then list down the items you spend on the proper column.
Do you spend a lot on necessities or do you spend more on
the things you want but you do not really need them?

Remember that basic needs are the things we need to be

able to survive. These include foods, clothing and shelter.
We have also our social needs that can help us feel the
sense of belongingness and acceptance. These can be
from education, sports, celebrations, travel, leisure and the
like. The things we desire to have are what we call wants.
They can be toys, a watches, or new phones.

How can you define Family Resources? Will you read Carlo.

Family’s resources include anything tangible or

intangible that can help provide for the needs of its
members. Like any other resources, these are limited
and the family members need to work to sustain
.
them.

Very good! This time we are going to discuss

the Types of Family Resources.

There are three Types of Family Resources:

1. Human Resources – every able- bodied member of the family is considered an

important human resource. People who can contribute their time, effort, talents,
skills, strength and expertise is considered part of the family’s human resource.

a. Abilities and skills – the ability to solve mathematical problems and the
skills for example to bake a cake are important resources of this type.
b. Attitudes - include ideas, opinions, inclinations, biases and feelings
towards something.

4
 A positive attitude towards work is important to succeed in any undertaking.

c. Knowledge – includes facts and information. Success in doing

an activity requires knowledge to know how it is to be done.

d. Energy or the capacity to do work -Members of the family must

be in good health, of sound mind and body to be able to do their
assigned work effectively.

2. Material Resources – tangible assets such as a house and lot, furniture and
appliances, jewelry, automobiles and cash. They are referred to as family’s
material resources.

Every family must invest wisely in material resources making sure that they
consider quality, durability and appreciation value when choosing what to
purchase.

3. Non – material resources – these are intangible resources but are also important.
Without these resources, family members will not be able to perform their duties and
responsibilities at home, in school and at work.

a. Time – the resource that cultivates cooperation, fulfilment of the prescribed

duties and smart maintenance of homes. It is usually measured in terms of
clock time seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, etc.

b. Health – the health of family members is important so that they can do their
duties without delay. Health indeed is wealth.

c. Experience – the more experience a family member has the more likely he or
she will get hired and be paid a good amount for his or her services. So job or
work experience is an important asset to have.

d. Environmental resources – includes rain, sunlight, air, and soil which help man
provide for his basic needs such as food, shelter and clothing.
