Introduction
A family includes a householder and one or more people living in the same household who are related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption. All people in a household who are related to the householder are regarded as members of his or her family. A family household may contain people not related to the householder, but those people are not included as part of the householder’s family in census tabulations. Thus, the number of family households is equal to the number of families, but family households may include more members than do families. A household can contain only one family for purposes of census tabulations. Not all households contain families since a household may comprise a group of unrelated people or one person living alone.
On the other definition, family is one or more persons related by blood, adoption, or marriage, living and cooking together as a single housekeeping unit, exclusive of household servants. A number of persons but not exceeding two living and cooking together as a single housekeeping unit though not related by blood, adoption, or marriage shall be deemed to constitute a family
All of us inherit our physical attributes from our parents. However, when you start interacting with the outside world, you realize that they are not good enough to ensure your success, not even sufficient for your survival. When you find yourself in such a situation, what is it that sustains and supports you. The values which were passed on to you by your family make your survival and growth possible. The values such as patience, care, understanding and commitment that were invested and instilled in you, differentiates you from the rest. If you are already a successful person and I don't mean it in the monetary sense only, then it only underlies the values you inherited from your family.
Three decades of research have demonstrated that parent/family involvement significantly contributes, in a variety of ways, to improved student outcomes related to learning and school success. These findings have remained fairly consistent despite the fact that families have undergone significant changes during.

The important of family
Family offers the environment in which a person learns in early age and at the same time family is the first source of information.

Some say that family is the foundation of each person's character, in the same way roots are for tree. Everything begins with the fact that children are like mirrors! They reflect everything adults do but in the way they understand it. Later when going to school they will do the same thing, but to the pantheon of idols will be added not just some new members of family, but also teaches and rarely colleagues. After just coping the behavior and manners of certain people, comes a period when child selects what to do and what to say and combining more variants come to a personal one.

Very often adults are influenced negatively and can't handle some situations in their life, because they haven’t been taught to think and act independently. Teach your children or family members to think critically and analyze information that comes from everywhere.
