12. Parents should encourage children to see their grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins who live far away. They can talk to them by phone or send letters and emails.

13 Invite relatives and grandparents to stay.

14. Meeting new people and getting involved.

These customs may be anything which all the family members enjoy and have a common interest.

How does family custom and culture affect child development?

These practices strengthen the relationship between the members of the family. To perform these practices family members have to communicate with each other. Healthy communication is the key ingredient to nurturing affection among all.

Connections, communications and love between the family members create a strong family bond.

A family is where you get emotional and physical security.

A family is a place where one can relax, can talk to anyone without being scared or anxious.

The Family accepts and understands you even when you are angry or overwhelmed.

He/she develops the ability to explore the world without fear. In addition to this, the child knows that whenever he/she needs comfort and support and protection, the family will always stand by them. Good communication solves many problems.
