Different Family Types

?

There is a variety of different family types. these families exist today and are common. 

  • nuclear family - this was the most common family type (due to divorce it has decreased). it consisted of a male head, a wife and there children. It was seen as a unatural thing not to be in a nuclear family and those who wasn't in that family type then you were were seen as defying the social norms. the nuclear family was seen as the best way of raising children as they have to role models. 
  • lone parent family - this is a family where one parent has either died or left the household and 1 parent looks after the child or children. this is the most common family type because of the increase of divorce rates. the children and the parent are closer in this family because the parent only has the child
