1. Human Resources

Every able-bodied member of

the family is considered an
important human resources.
People who can contribute
their time, effort, skills,
strength, and expertise is
considered part of the family’s
human resource.
a. Capabilities, Intelligence and Skills

unique ability and intelligence

himself of herself but also
others. It is important to
identify the talents and skills
that each person has and utilize
them for the common good.
b. Strength/Energy

The strength of a person does not

only mean having good health and
strong body. It also means having
emotional stability, mental alertness,
and having reasonable commitment
and positive outlook in life, especially
in work that improves self and
society. Strength is also needed to
accomplish tasks on time in order to
play, entertain and relax with the
family afterwards
2. Material Resources

Tangible assets such as

house and lot, furniture
and appliances, jewelry,
automobiles and cash
are referred to as the
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.
*Real properties and jewelry increase
in value over time while the value of
furniture, appliances, and
automobiles depreciate or go down
as they get old and worn out.
*Non – monetary material resources
are valuable too because they can be
sold for a certain amount of cash.
2. Non-Material Resources

Time, health, and experience

are intangible resources but
are also important. Without
non-material resources, family
members will be unable to
perform their duties and
responsibilities at home, in
school, and at work.
a. Time

Time is very important. This is

the resource that cultivates
cooperation, fulfilment of the
prescribed duties, and smart
maintenance of homes.
This is used to start and finish
the work without giving burden to
the body or resentment to the
person.
b. Health

The health of family

members is important.
When family members
are in good health, they
can do their duties
without delay.
 
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
non-material resource to have.
 
c. Time/Energy Management

There are some tasks that require

only little time and energy to
accomplish. Take these things
into consideration when
scheduling activities.
Household activities should be
managed properly to lessen
unnecessary labor and help speed
up work and reduce stress.

sustaining life and
promoting physical and
mental growth for the
children within the
family.
a. Food, water, shelter, and
clothing. These needs are
provided by parents to their
children since birth, to keep them
alive.
b. Security and safety needs. The
parents provide security and the
safety needs of their children to
make them comfortable and to
keep them free from fear. This
includes healthcare and
1. FOOD

– fuels the human body.

Without it, the body cannot
grow or perform at its best,
the organs will stop working
properly, and th body
eventually dies. Food supplies
nutrients, which are used by
every cell in the body as
building materials and fuel.
2. WATER

– is vital to life, humans,

plants and animals are
made up of mostly water.
All living things would die if
it weren’t for water. We use
water for drinking, washing,
cleaning, cooking and
watering
3. SHELTER

Human beings need

shelter for protection
against natural threats,
such as extreme weather
and dangerous creatures,
and even as security
against other human
beings.
4. CLOTHING

– is a fiber and textile

material worn on the body
to enhance personal
appearance and
protect it from extreme
temperatures and
elements of various
climate.
6. SOCIAL NEEDS

– are things such as acceptance,

appreciation, belonging and
companionship. Essentially, social needs
are met by forging relationships with
other people. Social needs are also
considered to be deficiency needs or
something that is essential for growth and
development. According to Maslow's
theory, social needs are important
because forging emotional relationships
is essential for preventing anxiety,
depression and loneliness.
Social needs are met in a
variety of ways. Families meet
the social needs of children,
but later in life, romantic
partners, friends and co-
workers further meet social
needs. Joining groups, such as
a church or athletic team, also
meets social needs.
