International Family Day: Family Bonding Mental and Social Hima
Dr. Mohammed Mahtab Hossain Mazed
The family is the basic unit of a society. In the history of human civilization, the family is the first social institution. The roots of human birth, development, education and values are rooted in this family. Every year on 15 May International Family Day is celebrated at the UN call. The purpose of celebrating this day is to highlight the importance of family bonds, to draw attention to the problems that arise in the family life and to build a positive environment in the family.
> History and Background of International Family Day
The UN General Assembly declared 15 May as "International Family Day" by a proposal. This day began to celebrate global from the 5th. The purpose behind this was to raise awareness about the social, economic, and cultural challenges of the family in the modern society.
The UN believes the family plays a central role in achieving sustainable development goals (SDGS). The foundation of education in the family, empowerment of women, health care, child safety and social security - all of these basis for the family structure.
Family conversion and modern change
In the modern age, globalization, urbanization, economic change, immigration, spread of information technology etc. have changed drastically in the family structure. Where the joint family was prevalent in the past, now it is taking place in a single family. As the number of working women and men is increasing, the upbringing has also changed.
In many countries, the 'single parent' family, 'childless couples', homosexual couples, etc. have emerged. These changes have brought new definitions of family solidarity to the society. The family has now become a bond of blood, but also about love, responsibility and sympathy.
> Social and emotional importance of family bonding
Humans are socialized creatures. But his first identity in this society, the first education and human qualities began in the family. A healthy and perfect family builds confidence, morality, tolerance and responsibility in a human life.
According to the World Health Organization, the family is a unacceptable ingredient in the development of mental health. Studies have shown that children who grow up in the sincerity and love of the family are developed as confident and sympathetic in the future. Family conflicts and violence, on the other hand, can ruin a child's mental balance.
Family situation in the context of Bangladesh
In Bangladesh, the family is still seen as a very important institution. Yet most people live in family -centric life. However, the number of single families in urban areas is increasing. Employment, tendency to go away for education, family disagreements, lifestyle changes - these factors are pushing the family to renew.
Women's career, parents' busyness, single pressure on children, etc. are creating new challenges in the society of Bangladesh. The mental development of the child, the care of the elderly parents, the stability of the marriage life - these issues are now different in the family.
> Challenges and crisis
The challenges that are currently in the family life have an impact not only personal, but also on social and state levels. As:
1. Family Violence: Violence against women and children at home is still a worrying problem.
2. Separation and relationship breakdown: Divorce rates are increasing, which is having a negative impact on children.
3. Generation Gap: New generation communication with the elderly is increasing.
4. Technology addiction: Mobile, TV and social media often hinders family time.
5. Immigration and travel abroad: When a member goes abroad, disintegration of the family increases.
> The way to solve
To solve the family problems, the government, society and family - all parties have to work together. Below is some possible to do:
* Education of Family Values: Children should teach the importance of family and relationships from childhood.
* Increase awareness: Campaign against family violence and erosion through the media.
* Counseling and Mental Healthcare: Professional counseling should be introduced in marriage conflict or family depression.
* Older care: Separate care and respect must be ensured for the senior members of the family.
* Dialogue of peers: Family discussions and time should be arranged to increase mutual understanding between parents and children.

This day is not just a symbolic day, but it reminds us that we are all part of the family. The family is not just a unit, but the power of love, shelter, education and the path of life.
