However, today we can see how many changes have occurred in the family, we see how they can be formed by a single pillar, the mother or father, many mothers work outside the home and sometimes are forced to leave their children alone, human values such as respect have been lost, it has been given a disproportionate value to the material, technological advances have caused alienation, lack of acceptance and many others that in some cases has caused separations of its members. Another of the most visible problems at a societal level is individualism and not working for the good of others.
So, if from the family nucleus, we do not understand that everyone is different, if conflicts are not resolved so as not to cause harm to others, if solidarity is not practiced, if there is no dialogue respecting the opinions of each one, if responsibility is not encouraged, how are we going to accept the rest of society, how do we face problems in other areas that turn out to be more complex, how do we help others?
At this point, I think it is good to consider what changes should be made at the family level, what would be good to maintain and strengthen so that the family continues to maintain its role, value and importance.
We can start working as a team, where we have common goals and work to achieve them. Therefore, today I want to show you the so-called 5Cs, well known at the business level and perhaps in the family is where they can be put into practice and will be of great benefit to its members and the results will be clearly visible.

We must be Committed, feel happy and at ease at home, commit ourselves personally and collectively to reach agreements where we all benefit, even though sometimes that means giving up something in particular.
Communication must exist, even though nowadays people are more connected at a technological level, and it seems that it is very difficult to have a conversation face to face, it is an important key in relationships, it must prevail and be strengthened from the base, if from the beginning of a relationship there is a dialogue, you will be more prepared to communicate with your children. There must be empathy, active listening, and constructive criticism, not destructive. Lack of communication brings with it many conflicts that if not resolved in time, become even greater or cannot be resolved.
We must be Coordinated, this means using strategies among family members to achieve a common good, and for this it is necessary the presence of a good leader, who is an example, who seeks development with realistic goals. This role must be fulfilled by the father and mother, which represents that they know the needs of all, that they are coherent with their thoughts, words and actions. It is very important that there is a strong union between them with clear rules and commitments.
there must be Confidence, where the children feel free, where they are able to find the principles that will govern their lives, understanding that there are limits. The confidence to express and share their problems, this does not mean that they will solve them but they will be of much help, and it is better that they find it at home and not outside of it.
We must Complement each other, the work must be collective, the tasks must be distributed to live in harmony to be more efficient and effective.
If we can see the wealth that is in each of our families, we can help to rebuild the society we want, especially for our children.
