Defining the family Al-Qusayr defined the concept of the family as the first nucleus of society, and its building unit, as it is a social and educational system, and it is an inevitable necessity for the survival of the human race and the permanence of social existence, and it performs the function of socializing children and preparing them for the future.

It is true, as the individual grows up and his behaviors are imprinted in it, as it gives the child his attitudes, forms his inclinations, and distinguishes his personality by introducing him to his religion, so it has an impact on correcting behavior and reassuring himself. Among the benefits of family stability, Maryam Al-Qusayr follows, saying that the strongest thing that strengthens the nation is the strength of building the family, because it is the building block of the nation, and the good family, that is, a good mother, a good father, and a good deed. In terms of the relationship between the spouses; If it is in a manner of mercy, kindness, and affection, then it returns to the children with love, tenderness, and cohesion, but if disagreements and quarrels infiltrate between the spouses, then the dispersion of the children replaces their cohesion, and thus leads to their growth in an unhealthy environment.

Effective communication Sheikha Al-Jarwan, a social educator in the Department of Social Education, continues that the rules for achieving family stability are; Mutual respect for family members, which is one of the things that must be provided, as it increases effective communication between them. Effective communication also increases and enhances cohesion among all family members, especially in times of joy or sadness, as children often have difficulty describing their feelings through words. Once the child feels that his parents listen to him, it becomes sufficient for him to talk about himself, and he must have an opportunity to talk about his daily life. One of the positive things is tracking the puppy, allocating time for the family and trying to organize time to spend time together a number of times a week. Which creates a good atmosphere for communication and talking about important issues and the most interesting topics. Even sometimes you can ask the child to share the housework with you.
