Young couples would like to live their own life in a nuclear family because they want to have more privacy for their marriage as well as freedom in raising their children without being intervened by their parents. Some other people say that economic factors also make contribution to this current trend. In contrast, I think it does not depend on the issue of economy, but the major reason leading to this phenomenon is the heavy pressure young couples receive from their parents and siblings-in-law. They cannot deal with conflicts always happening in their own family because they have a lot of other problems to concern such as developing their career, raising children, facing pressure from competitive work, stress and psychological problems of facing disgreements from family members. As a result, they tend to choose not to live with their parents after their marriage.

Some parents love their children so much that they pay too much attention to what children need and do. They do not let their sons or daughters to make their own decision. They decide which clothes a child should wear to a party, or they also choose schools and future jobs for them. Some students I am teaching usually feel scared when they do not get high scores at school because of dissatisfying their parents' expectation. I think parents should change their mind and the ways they are using to raise their children because each child has his own identity. They have different taste in different things, which makes the society more diverse. Therefore, the necessity to do right now is to change our glass ceiling and love our children in wiser and more intelligent ways.

Types of Families

A family is a group of people that have a common ancestor. They usually live together in the same house. Although it is a fact that not all families are the same, they can be categorized into different types.

A nuclear family consists of parents and their children living together. In many countries in Europe and North American this is the most common form of family. There are three types of nuclear families. In the first type the father works and the mother cares for the children. In the second type, the mother works and the father stays at home with the children. In the third type of family, both parents work. This last type of family is the most common in the USA and Canada.

In an extended family, different family members such as grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins live together. In many areas of the world, such as Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Southern Europe, this type of family is common.

Recently in some countries, couples are choosing to have only one child. These types of families are called single child families. Some people believe that children raised in these kinds of families are spoilt, selfish and lonely. But research doesn't support this.

Some families have no children at all. They are called childless families. The couples that make up these families sometimes make the choice not to have children because they want to have more free time. Some couples choose not to have children for financial reasons.

As the basis of all societies, families of all types are very important. This is true now and will be true in the future as well.

Family Rules

Would you like to have a boss who didn't specify what the rules were in your work place but punished you if you broke these unknown rules? You would feel pretty frustrated, wouldn't you? That's how children feel when they are punished for breaking rules that have never been explained to them. Family rules are necessary to make clear what is expected of children and to outline punishments for misbehavior and rewards for good behavior.

When creating a list of family rules remember to be specific both in what is expected and the punishment or reward. Gather the family together when creating the list of family rules. Involve children in the creation of the rules and get their input as to appropriate rewards or punishments. Explain to children why youd like to include certain rules. They'll accept them more if they understand that they are for their own benefit and safety.

You can create the list of rules in the form of a contract which all family members sign. Before completing the contract make sure that all family members are in agreement as to the wording of the rules and the punishments or rewards for each rule.

Once the rules have been created, remember to be consistent with their enforcement. The list of rules doesn't mean anything unless it is consistently enforced.
