FAMILY STRUCTURE
The traditional family structure is considered a family support system which
involves two married individuals providing care and stability for their
biological offspring. However, this two-parent, nuclear family has become
less prevalent, and alternative family forms have become more common.
The family is created at birth and establishes fies across generations. Those
generations, the extended family of aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins,
can all hold significant emotional and economic roles for the nuclear family.
Different kinds of family structures
•Nuclear family: A family unit consisting of at most a father, mother and dependent
children, It is considered the “traditional family
•Extended family: A family consisting of parents and children, along with either
grandparents, grandchildren, aunts or uncles, cousins etc. In some circumstances, the
extended family comes to live either with or in place of a member of the nuclear family.
•Step families: Two families brought together due to divorce, separation, and
remarriage.
•Single parent family: This can be either a father or a mother who is singly responsible
for the raising of a child. The child can be by birth or adoption. They may be a single
parent ; choice or by life circumstances. The other parent may have been part of the
family at one time or not at all
