Families around the world are changing with time. It is becoming much smaller in number, the concept of Nuclear family is in trend. Not necessarily people are unable to cooperate with the family members but they are choosing to stay on their own. Privacy has become most important among all. Even though it was there earlier times as well, now people are more vocal about it. On this International Day of Families, the pledge is to be together and enjoy the spark of togetherness.
Theme of 2021
The most popular International Day of Families or IDF is celebrated annually on the 15th of May. The motive is to highlight the importance of families and filial bonds by the communities Internationally. According to the United Nations, the International Day of Families provides an opportunity to raise awareness of family-related problems and increase understanding of the demographic, social, and cultural factors that influence them. Notable events, workshops, seminars, and meetings are organized to raise awareness of the annual theme each year.
In 2021, the focus is on the ‘Families and New technologies’. The impact of technology has somehow taken us away from family. We all need to use technology to bring back the lost charm.
Like every year, the main event on the International Day of Families takes place at the headquarters of the UN in New York. With the motive of discussing the current situation, research of potential growth of information technology to empower parents, using parenting education tools, all benefits the family in the long run. The analysis on the negative impacts of new technologies on children and families are discussed with a good share of practice to take over for improving this situation.
Let’s connect this International Day of Families using technology to make the bond stronger.
It is very important for us apart from growing and becoming successful to take care of our family and keep up the spirit of togetherness alive. We should be thankful towards technology on how in difficult times like this in a pandemic, we still can stay connected and keep the momentum on.
Family is the smallest building block of society that holds utmost importance in a person’s life. The families bond with the members helps to provide a safe environment for individual growth. On this day let us all spend ample time together with our loved ones and cheer the bond of family members.
CredR wishes a very enjoyable International Day of Families. Spend it well. Stay home, stay safe, stay connected 🙂
