Family relations

Hi everyone! I am very excited to share with you some things that I learned.   In this week’s class , we talked about something that I never thought about before but that makes a lot of sense to me. We discussed “ family culture ” . This concept refers to all the ideas, costumes, morals, traditions , and  behavior that people can inherit from their immediate family or extended family and ancestors.

Marriage between a man and woman was the structure accepted by society but now there are a lot of different types of family structures.       In class, we discussed and read a study that talks about if family structures have an impact on child development.
