Family systems theory  Generally developed and emerged in the 1960s  Ernest Burgess 1926 o Referred to the family as a unity of interacting personalities o More than the formal and legal family definition  Ludwig von bertalnffy 1969 o Taking general systems principles and applying them to life  Theory referred to early on as family process theory  Basic assumptions o The whole is greater than the sum of the parts o The locus of pathology (location of the problem) is not within the person, but is a system dysfunction o Circular causality guides behavior (linear vs circular) o Rules are discovered in retrospect o Rules result from the redundancy principle  Redundancy principle

o Consistency addresses change over time, specifically whether the findings can be expected to remain consistent across time or may have been specific to the moment in time when the data were collected o Neutrality entails an assessment of the role that the investigator or author may have plead in shaping the findings; would a different scholar using the same data have reported the same findings and arrived at the same conclusions?  Consulting the literature o General aspects of that literature should be clear  The state of knowledge  The caveats about and contexts in which that knowledge is applicable  The gaps in existing knowledge

Helping families find the solutions that fit their unique family structure

What Is Family Life Education?

THE PROFESSION OF FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION

The National Council on Family Relations, www.ncfr.org, states:

Family Life Education is:

The educational effort to strengthen and enrich individual and family life through a preventive, family perspective. FLEs bring family research and best practices to individuals, couples, families and parents via an educational approach in order to build strengths and avert problems.

FLE emphasizes processes to enable people to develop into healthy adults and to realize their potential. FLE can help people work together in close relationships and facilitates the ability of people to function effectively in their personal lives and as members of society. FLE recognizes that all families can benefit from education and enrichment programs – not only those experiencing difficulties. While various professionals assist families, it is the family life educator who incorporates a family-systems, preventive, and educational approach to individual and family issues.

FLE includes knowledge about family dynamics and communication; the inter-relationship of the family and society; human growth and development throughout the lifespan; both the physiological and psychological aspects of human sexuality; the impact of money and time management on daily life; the importance and value of education for parenting; the effects of policy and legislation on families; ethical considerations in professional conduct; and a solid understanding and knowledge of teaching and curriculum development for what are often sensitive and personal issues.

Family life educators use many methods and settings to provide training to people who want to be more effective family members. Some examples of how FLEs work to strengthen diverse American families are:

• Co-parenting education and mediation for divorcing couples and direct offenders

• Promotion of family-friendly workplace policies and community awareness of the importance of strong marriages and families

• Developing programs promoting parenting education, and couple and family relationship enrichment

• Fostering the development of research-based, family-strengthening program offerings in schools, agencies, businesses, and faith communities

Families face substantial challenges. Stresses come from many directions and impose great burdens on families. There was time when most young people got family life training in informal apprenticeships with their parents.

Today, with greater challenges than ever before, we provide less training and preparation for family roles than we have in the past. It is no wonder that families feel overwhelmed by the challenges they face.

Many people feel that they know a lot about families because they grew up in one. Yet there are recent discoveries in family process that may surprise many people. Many of the processes that people assume to be helpful in families are not. Research continues to show new and better ways to become vibrant individuals, strengthen couple relationships, and raise healthy, balanced children. Examples of a few of the intriguing discoveries people should know include the following:

• Over the years many family professionals assumed that there was one best kind of relationship. Contrary to expectation, research by John Gottman shows that it doesn’t matter which of three primary kinds of couple relationship one has – volatile, avoidant or validating – all can be satisfying and enduring. But it does matter that we give five positives for each negative. Positivity is the key to closeness.

• Kindness may be more important in family relationships than communication skills.

• Children’s character and moral development may depend more on the cultivation of empathy than anything else.

• One characteristic of resilient children – those who flourish in spite of challenges – is that they have someone in their lives who is crazy about them.

• Teens that focus on serving others are less likely to get in trouble or drop out of school.

• The healthiest people are not the most realistic. Research shows that the healthiest people tend to be unrealistically optimistic.

• Emphasis on self-esteem may have created more problems than it solved.

• New discoveries in positive psychology provide better ways to thrive.

• We instinctively hope to solve problems by studying them, yet those who focus on problems in their relationships may create greater problems. Those who focus on strengths tend to transcend many problems.

• Controlling stress is not done by avoiding it, as much as using the resources we have and managing the way we think about it.

Since 1985, the National Council on Family Relations (NCFR) has sponsored the only national program to certify family life educators. Certified Family Life Educators (CFLE) have training and experience in ten vital areas of family life education:

1. Families and Individuals in Societal Contexts

2. Internal Dynamics of Families

3. Human Growth and Lifespan Development across the Lifespan

4. Human Sexuality

5. Interpersonal Relationships

6. Family Resource Management

7. Parent Education and Guidance

8. Family Law and Public Policy

9. Professional Ethics and Practice

10. Family Life Education Methodology

To be a Certified Family Life Educator, one must

• Have at least a bachelor’s degree in education and/or family science field

• Have at least 3200 hours of work experience in family life education

• Pass the national certification exam covering the ten content areas above (Master’s level course work)

• Earn 100 continuing education credit hours in approved programming and in at least two content areas every 5 years

Family life education focuses on healthy family functioning within a family systems perspective and provides a primarily preventive approach. The skills and knowledge needed for healthy functioning are widely known: strong communication skills, knowledge of typical human development, good decision-making skills, positive self-esteem, and healthy interpersonal relationships. The goal of family life education is to teach and foster this knowledge and these skills to enable individuals and families to function optimally.

EVERY FAMILY HAS ITS STRENGTHS AND EVERY FAMILY CAN BENEFIT FROM SOME NEW IDEAS AND SUPPORT.

The 5 importance of family life education.

Family life education (FLE) is a field of study and practice that focuses on providing individuals and families with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to foster healthy relationships, navigate life transitions, and overcome challenges within the family unit. It encompasses a broad range of topics related to family dynamics, interpersonal relationships, parenting, communication , decision-making, and life skills.

The primary goal of family life education is to empower individuals and families to lead fulfilling lives by promoting the development of strong, resilient, and supportive family systems. This is achieved through various educational programs, workshops, counseling sessions, and community initiatives aimed at addressing the diverse needs and concerns of families across different stages of the life cycle.

In the intricate tapestry of human existence, the family stands as the foundational unit, weaving together individuals in a web of love, support, and shared experiences. Family life education (FLE) plays a pivotal role in nurturing healthy family dynamics and fostering personal growth within its members. Its significance transcends the confines of individual households, extending its influence to shape societies at large.

Here are the five vital importance of family life education in today’s world:

Promoting Communication and Understanding:

Effective communication lies at the heart of every thriving family. FLE equips individuals with the skills necessary to express themselves openly and empathetically, fostering an environment where conflicts are resolved amicably and bonds are strengthened. Through workshops, counseling sessions, and educational materials, family life educators impart techniques for active listening, conflict resolution, and negotiation, empowering family members to navigate through life’s challenges with grace and understanding.

Building Resilience and Coping Mechanisms:

In an ever-changing world fraught with uncertainties, resilience emerges as a vital trait for personal and familial well-being. Family life education instills resilience by nurturing adaptive coping mechanisms and fostering a sense of belonging and support within the family unit. By promoting discussions on stress management, coping strategies, and emotional regulation, FLE equips individuals with the tools needed to navigate through adversity, emerging stronger and more resilient in the face of life’s trials.

Fostering Healthy Relationships and Boundaries:

Healthy relationships form the cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Family life education imparts invaluable lessons on interpersonal dynamics, emphasizing the importance of mutual respect, trust, and boundary-setting within relationships. By exploring topics such as healthy communication patterns, conflict resolution strategies, and the significance of individual autonomy, FLE cultivates relationships built on a foundation of mutual understanding and support, thereby fortifying the fabric of family bonds.

Empowering Individuals and Families:

At its core, family life education is about empowerment—empowering individuals to lead fulfilling lives and empowering families to thrive as cohesive units. Through education on topics ranging from financial literacy and parenting skills to mental health awareness and decision-making, FLE equips individuals and families with the knowledge and resources needed to make informed choices and navigate life’s complexities with confidence. By fostering a culture of continuous learning and growth, family life education empowers individuals to realize their full potential and contribute positively to their families and communities.

Preventing Social Issues and Strengthening Communities:

Strong families form the bedrock of resilient communities. Family life education plays a vital role in preventing social issues such as domestic violence, substance abuse, and intergenerational conflict by equipping individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to build healthy and supportive family environments. By promoting values of empathy, compassion, and inclusivity, FLE fosters a sense of community cohesion and social responsibility, laying the groundwork for a more harmonious and equitable society.

In conclusion, family life education serves as a beacon of hope and guidance in an increasingly complex world, nurturing strong bonds and resilient individuals within the fabric of family units. Its importance cannot be overstated, as it not only strengthens families but also shapes the trajectory of societies at large. By promoting communication, building resilience, fostering healthy relationships, empowering individuals, and preventing social issues, family life education paves the way for a brighter future—one grounded in love, understanding, and shared growth. As we continue to navigate the complexities of modern life, let us embrace the transformative power of family life education in shaping a world where every individual and family can thrive.

Introduction

Introduction to Family Life Education

Needs of Family

Every family needs certain things such as food, shelter, clothes, education and health services, etc. which are considered as the basic needs. All the family members are satisfied if all this things are provided to them. With the increase in the size of the family, the quantities of these things have to be increased. The head of the family has to think whether he/she is in the position to increase the quantities. 

According to psychologist Abraham Maslow, the needs of family can be divided into following:

• Basic needs:  The most rudimentary human needs, associated with the survival of human beings, are called basic needs. Human beings cannot survive in the absence of these things. One needs of food to eat, water to drink and house to live.
• Physiological needs:  Physiological needs are associated with the function of body organ. If these needs are not fulfilled, the normal existence of life stops. No one can survive in the absence of water. Sex is biological needs of the youth. In its absence, the life is not continued. Therefore, physiological needs are at the lowest rank. After this, human being moves to safety needs. After one's stomach is full, s/he needs a safe environment. Cloth and shelter provide security from the general environmental torments and the foes.
• Additional needs:  The secondary human needs, associated with career development and better living standard, are termed as additional needs. After the basic human needs are fulfilled or after the empty stomach becomes fulfill, human beings needs better life. He needs love, care, affection, respect, freedom and eventually self fulfillment.

• The number of single parent family is quite less. Both parents are found in the family.
