Family is one of the greatest achievements of human civilization. This is the opinion of both science and the main world religions. The family is called the “cell of society” for a reason, because it is through it that society gets a chance to develop. Family relationships are governed not only by law or religion. In any sphere of life, folk proverbs help to find a different view of things, clarify the situation, because it is in them that the wisdom and insight of the people in relation to many difficult things are contained.
Folk wisdom and modern research
Proverbs and sayings about the family embody those principles to which psychological knowledge is only beginning to approach in a roundabout way. “There is no good in an unfriendly family,” the proverb says. Today, scientists conduct a lot of research on the problem of the family. In the course of some such studies, it turned out that a family that has common goals is stronger. In fact, common goals unite not only the family, but also any team. Only in our society it is often forgotten that the family, even if it consists of two people, is also a collective.
Therefore, it is worthwhile to listen to proverbs and sayings about the family and engage in setting common goals. A family in which there is very little good usually does not have common goals. For example, a husband spends time with friends, and a wife constantly tears his evil at him. They live as if separately, despite the fact that physically such a couple can be under one roof. Without common goals, such a family breaks up very quickly. This is precisely the key to mutual respect and successful cooperation in the “cell of society”. By uniting around one goal, the family becomes more friendly - and therefore stronger.
Family is the most valuable thing a person has. It is an integral part of it - both in childhood and in adulthood. Parents care about their babies, try to give them all the most valuable and the best. As an adult, a person gradually understands how important family relationships are for him. The family becomes for him the place where he draws strength for other achievements: "The family on the heap is not scary and the cloud."
Proverbs for children
Folk art is a very useful tool for educating the younger generation. Proverbs and family sayings for preschool children help instill in them ideas about what is important and valuable in family life. Folk art is an integral part of Russian culture. So, by introducing the child to folklore, we introduce him to her. Proverbs and family sayings for children can be the simplest. For example, “It’s good to visit, but it’s better at home”, “It is warm in a friendly family and cold”, “Love and advice are in the family, there is no need.”
For example, in childhood, with the help of proverbs, it is easy to explain to the child what roles each member of the family has, what place he should take, how to relate to his elders. We must not forget that the mother and father are an example of a child’s relationship between a man and a woman - in the future he will reproduce this relationship, but only in his family. Raising a child is a process that can be carried out by a variety of methods. Proverbs and sayings make it much easier for parents, because ethical education is no less important than physical and mental development.
Proverbs from different nations of the world
Proverbs and sayings for preschoolers can be taken from the folklore of other nations. For example, a Chinese proverb says: "There are no two owners in a family." And here is an Italian proverb: “Mother loves dearly, and father loves him deeply.” Mother’s love is one of the most important topics in the folk art of almost any country. For example, Azerbaijani folk wisdom says: “The mother’s heart will endure everything.” The Vietnamese proverb also speaks of the dedication of motherly love: "Mother will lie on the wet, but the children will fall dry." Whatever nationality you take, the same ideas are everywhere reflected that the mother will give everything for the sake of her child. If parents decide to tell the baby proverbs and sayings for preschoolers, they must definitely include those that raise a respectful attitude to the mother.
Proverbs about love for a brother or sister
Proverbs and sayings about the family are not only parting words that it is necessary to respect parents or to observe subordination in relationships. There is another side to family life: the relationship between brothers and sisters. Love between equals is what this warm feeling can be called. Love for a brother or sister is one of the fundamental types of love - in its quality it is similar to friendship. Here is what the Chechen-Ingush proverb says: "Without brother, brother, that a falcon without a wing." “A father is a treasure, and a brother is a support,” an English proverb tells us . Blood relations are the closest.
Russian proverbs about brothers and sisters
Many Russian proverbs and sayings about the family are devoted to brotherly love. “Brother will not betray”, “Elder brother, like a second father”, “His sister and snotty is good.” When relationships with brothers and sisters are close, a person usually does not think about their correctness. Parents tell all children: “Closer than you, you have no one!” Usually, brothers and sisters in a family are a separate “community” - their own special laws always apply within it. And they are almost the same for all peoples and almost do not undergo changes from the earliest times of the development of human society.
