KEY

1,Nuclear family:Was considered as the most common family structure in Viet


Nam and in the world (above 50%).A nuclear family structrue has 2 generations
:Parents and offsprings (sometimes include adopted and/or froster chlidren).The
nuclear family has long been updated as the gold standard for raising children
because there are less people in the family so every person in this family can care
more for each other and know what is good or bad for each person in the family
but it has some disavantages such as more stress and isolation

2,Same-sex family:As the name,this family has same-sex parents(and their froster
children).Nowadays in the USA and some countries in the world accept LGBT
communities so with the legalization of same-sex marriage and the increased
societal acceptance of the LGBT rights same-sex families have become more
common in the US and in some Europe countries it has some advantages and
disavantages such as parents can know each other better but there are more
difficulty for parents to keep the family stable

3,Single-parent family:This family only has father or mother and their


offsprings (by some reasons that mother or father leave the family).By the increase
of divorce and separated,the number of single-parents is growing faster and
faster.This family is considered as a bad family for children because the child
doesn’t have enough love from parents so they tend to have bad habits and bad
spirit.This is one of some reasons that young crime is increasing in our community
but it has some advantages such as chidren can learn house duties,that can increase
their responsibility

4,Stepped family:This is the combine between single-parent family and single


parents or a single person.That means father in single-parent family marriages a
single mom or a girl (she is single) and reverse.This family can have advantages
and disavantages for both children and the new parents because children can have
enough love from their father and mother so they can live better than in a single-
parent family but they don’t completely know about their new father/mother’s
character and feeling so they can have some conflicts with their new
father/mother
5,Extended family:This is the largest family structure in the world.That family
has more than 2 generations (offsprings,parents,grandparents,...).In the past
extended family is very common especialy in Asia countries but now it is
reducing and nuclear family is increasing because there are so many people in a
family so they can’t have more time together and can’t care each other more.So it
is not suitable for raising children but it has some advantages such as chidren can
learn how to treat well with older people (thier granparents) and this family can do
more works

6,Childless family:This family combines only parents doesn’t have child (by some
reasons).These unique families combines working parents(who don’t care about
their offspring),old parents(who can’t have kids),and adventurous parents(who
don’t like kids for a better lifestyle).This family has some advantages and
disavantages such as couples can have more times together and don’t care about
some kids’ troubles but some couples can feel empty,isolate or stress

7,Grandparents family:This is the special case of nuclear family:Combines


grandparents and grandchidren.Thier parents can work far or divorced or separated
so their offsprings must live with their grandparents.That special family can have
some advantages and disavantages such as grandparents can have closer bond with
thier grandchildren and keeps children ending up from froster home or other
situation but grandparents must have more financial issues and health issues
