Roles of family members

All members of the nuclear and extended families have different roles to play to bring about the growth of the family.

Father

1 The father is the breadwinner of the family. This means he provides money for the family’s food.

2 He provides the needs of the family such as food, shelter, and clothes.

3 He pays the children’s school fees, electricity bills and waste disposal bills.

4. He protects the children and other members of the family from any attack.

 

 

 

Mother

1 The mother cooks for the family and makes sure the members of the family feed well.

2 The mother assists the father in training the children and making sure they behave well in the society.

3 She cleans the house to ensure healthy surroundings.

4 She teaches the children how to perform domestic work. Domestic work is the type of work we do at home. It includes sweeping the floor, washing the plates and clothes, and mopping the floor.

Children

The children also have their roles in their own upbringing. This is to ensure that the roles of other family members are not in vain.

1 The children help their parents to do household chores, such as sweeping and cleaning the house as well as wash the cars, clothes and plates.

2 The children run errands for the parents and other members of the family. This means they do the work people asked them to do.

5 The children show that they are obedient by reading their books and doing their homework at the right time.
