The family has the responsibility for keeping young children safe, providing love and helping all their children to learn to get along with people. The most important beginning is the development of trust. The infant (嬰兒的) needs to know that there is someone who cares and provides for his or her needs. 1.

2. Each person also has the responsibility to show love and affection to other people in the family. The way you show love can be different for different people.
