Abstract:
Being a family means involvement and of course, this isn’t easy to achieve. Involvement means fulfillment and having fun in everyday life. Although the greatitude of the children can be felt just before they become adults, somewhere deep inside themselves, at a certain level of their emotional intelligence, they will feel better, more ballanced, more at-easy with their inner self because in their lives there will be the right ballance their home will be paradise, where they will feel safe, protected, loved and helped when needed, a place where fun rules. Family is one of the oldest institution in the world. Throughout history, family has gone through different changes starting with cultural changes in which family represents a traditional image of education until its most various connotations. As family represents one of the oldest components of society, it firstly contributes to the education of a child. The first reality that a child encounters is the family. This is why I consider this a very up – to – date theme. We can ask ourselves: ``How can the family offer a healthy education in the 21-st century?``. Nowadays, the world goes through majour changes from a year to the other, the social and the educational demands increase, too, but is the family today prepared for the current educational demands? These days and educational partnership between school and the family based on good communication is highly needed. Being aware of the importance of education improves the communication between family and the educational system. But education is not done only in schools. The partnership between the school and the family brings benefits to the student because it is based on acceptance, respect and bonding with the family. Education takes places also in the street, among friends, in front of the TV and in many other places. If there is a possibility to obtain a partnership with the educational institutional institution we can righly question ourselves how can such a partnership be obtained between the family and the other educational environments. We try to answer these questions in this article and not only here. The current study is a theoretical approach in which contemporany education is concerned and the partnership between education and the 21-st century’s family. This theoretical study is the base of a practical research that we would like to perform in the mean future.
