Have you noticed how family-focused bloggers and influencers are gaining popularity in the world of social media and influencer marketing nowadays? Do you know that both parents and non-parents follow these influencers on social media and how big is their influence is both online and offline? Family and parenting are the core elements of our society, so there is much focus on these two subjects today, and more and more people wish to become influencers themselves. They may even seek the service of someone like Twicsy to help them out initially and get their content seen by as many people as possible so that they can grow quicker than they perhaps would if they tried to build up a following on their own.
The Crucial Role of Family and Parenting in the Digital Age
The family is the basic unit of society. On a bigger scale, this concept translates that we need stronger families to make a great nation.
Being a pivotal social institution, the family is a socially recognized group that forms an emotional connection among its members.
Family and Parenting Functions
To ensure the continuation of society, the family has these primary functions:
- Biologically — through procreation
- Socially — through socialization and raising socially-aware adults
Family and parenting work hand in hand in teaching children the ways and values of a society. Parents pose as the first role models in a young child’s life. A lot of a child’s actions and reactions are reflections of the kind of parents they have.
Most especially, a family molds the child into an acceptable member of society.
Unconditional Love and Support
More often than not, it’s the family that is our last shield. Parents love their children unconditionally even if they are already grown-ups, in spite of their shortcomings.
They are the last people who would turn their backs on the person they have sired. So no matter what happens, a family remains because of the blood connection.
They just can’t take them their children for granted, for a member of a family is responsible for each other.
Parents and Social Media
Meanwhile, social media networks have become vital channels for human daily interactions. Users rely heavily on these platforms to keep in touch with others, share daily experiences and struggles, as well as get information.

Families use social media, too. We even have family groups and group chats so that all family members are updated about each other.
