The Value of Family Tradition For Children

Family is where we experience our greatest joys and deepest vulnerabilities. With changing times, the concept of 'family' takes many forms, influencing different parenting styles. But no matter how you define 'family,' it has a lifelong impact on a child's life. That's why it's important to inculcate family values in your child right from an early age.

How New Zealand World Cup Cricket Team’s introduction is a testimony to family values

New Zealand Cricket Team used a unique approach to promote the ODI World Cup 2023 squad today. They showcased family members of the selected players to reveal the World Cup Squad set to compete for the World Cup in India.  The names of the players were announced by their children, partners, grandparents, and Mothers accompanied by their close family members including their pets. Each Team member was introduced by mentioning their New Zealand cap number followed by the announcing family members’ relationship with them.

New Zealand Cricket's unique approach to announcing their ODI World Cup 2023 squad serves as a powerful reminder of the significance of family traditions in a child's life. By involving the players' family members in this special moment, the team not only celebrated their achievements but also showcased the importance of family bonds.

This gesture will not only strengthen the players' connection with their families but also set an inspiring example for children watching. It highlights the value of honoring family ties and traditions. Such experiences can leave a lasting impression on children, underlining the importance of family in their own lives.

The Importance of Family Values & Traditions: 

When your family supports you, it has a profound impact on your performance and overall well-being. Just take a look at the legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. His parents' and sibling’s unwavering support throughout his career played an important role in his success, and he went on to make them incredibly proud.

In much the same way, when we support our child's interests and career choices, we're sending a powerful message. It's like saying, "We're here for you, and all you need to do is work hard to achieve your dreams. We've got your back every step of the way." This kind of support not only boosts a child's confidence but also instills a sense of security and determination

The players of New Zealand may have felt an immense sense of pride and motivation when they would have seen their loved ones standing by their side. This reaffirmed that they weren't just representing themselves and their country on the field; they were representing their families too. This support undoubtedly boosts their morale, making them even more determined to perform at their best and make their families proud.

The family environment where your child grows shapes their decision-making and impacts how your child will relate to others beyond the family circle. Spending time with family adds values that influence a child’s philosophy about life.

Teach the importance of family traditions to your child from an early age so that they begin valuing interpersonal relationships right from the very beginning.

As your child grows, it may lead to them spending less time with family due to school and social commitments. And on top of it, the use of social media has triggered a sense of FOMO. Teaching a child about family values and traditions provides them with a sense of security within their own circle.

In essence, the bond between family and success is unbreakable. When a child knows his/her family supports them, s/he is more likely to excel, and the inspirational video from New Zealand Cricket beautifully illustrates this powerful connection between family support and achievement. Parentune loves it, and we send a lot of hearts with kudos for this initiative.  Family is everything!
