National Family Celebrations 2013
Event Alert
The National Family Celebrations is back for 2013!
In case you are unaware, NFC is an annual national event to celebrate and reinforce the importance of family. Launched in 1985 by the National Family Council with strong support from the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF), NFC 2013 seeks to bring an array of family activities and events for families to share and enjoy.
It's our honour to announce that we are part of the official family bloggers selected for this event which starts from the 29th May to 29 June.
This year, youth will have a bigger stake leading to the event. There will be increased opportunities for them to showcase and explore youth-initiated family projects. This expansion of youth involvement will be lead by the establishment of the 24 member NFC 2013 Youth Sub Committee.
The theme for this year celebration is 100% Family. A theme we readily identify.
The five family values that strengthen the family fabric - Love, Mutual Respect, Communication, commitment and filial responsibility are revisited during the celebrations
Personally, as a Daddy, I think the above value are good values to inculcate to our children
This year the NFC kicks off the celebration with live edutainment- The 100% Family Show on 29th May. It will continue with a series of events that will lead to the iconic Family Day Out on 29th June. This year, the main event will also feature the nation's first-ever 6:29 is Family Time movement on 29 June at 6.29pm

The theme for this year celebration is 100% Family. A theme we readily identify.
The five family values that strengthen the family fabric - Love, Mutual Respect, Communication, commitment and filial responsibility are revisited during the celebrations
Personally, as a Daddy, I think the above value are good values to inculcate to our children
- Love - Showing love for one another from the husband to the wife, to the parents and children, to sibling love. Love is the fabric of the family. The thread that makes clothes to warm and protect the families it clothe. Love is the essential building block of a family made to last.
- Mutual Respect- Respect is something that is earned and not given. For your children to respect you, you must lead by example and show respect towards each other.
- Communication - A family that communicates is one that makes feelings known to each other. Every 'I Love You' and 'I Miss You' would hold more meaning if spoken to each other. Communication also means sharing the highs and lows, likes and dislikes so the family can understand each other better.
- Commitment - Be there for the family in good times and in bad. Knowing that there will be someone to stand by you regardless of the outcome is one that gels a family together.
- Filial Responsibility - Showing respect to your own parents in front of your children would most likely warrant the same set of filial piety your children will bestow you. We always believe that if we lead by examples, our children would learn and hopefully do the same when they are older.
This year the NFC kicks off the celebration with live edutainment- The 100% Family Show on 29th May. It will continue with a series of events that will lead to the iconic Family Day Out on 29th June.
