 Lesson
Family Structure
1
Objectives:
At the end of this module, learners will be able to:
1. understand family structure as a highly effective way of getting
information;
2. appraise ones’ family structure and the type of care he/she
gives and receives, which may help in understanding
himself/herself better
3. make a genogram and trace certain physical, personality, or
behavioral attributes through generations

Despite the changing lifestyles and ever-increasing personal mobility that

characterize modern society, the family remains the central element of
contemporary life. Families offer companionship, security, and a measure of
protection against an often-uncaring world. But family structure, like society at
large, has undergone significant changes in the years since World War II. While the
nuclear family -- with Dad, Mom, and offspring happily coexisting beneath one
roof-remains the ideal, variations in family structure are plentiful -- and often
successful. Whatever your particular family situation, it will have tremendous
influence upon your baby's happiness, development, and future.

What’s In

Activity 1. MY FAMILY TREE

Direction: Fill in the boxes with your corresponding answer. Write the names of
what is being ask. If there are two or more siblings, write it down inside the box
below the others.

According to Lucidchart Content Team How to Make a Family Tree Chart

“A family tree is a visual representation of a person’s lineage, tracing relationships

to common ancestors.”

4
 Activity 2.

Direction: on a separate sheet of paper answer the following questions:

1. Write 5 physical attributes that you inherited from your father and 5 physical
attributes from your mother (example: skin color)

2. What 5 behavioural attributes you inherited from your grandparents? (example:

kindness)

What’s New

Activity: GENOGRAM

A genogram or family tree is a useful tool to gather information about a

person's family. This visual representation of a family can help us to identify
patterns or themes within families that may be influencing or driving a person's
current behavior.

Symbols for drawing the genogram or family tree

Female symbol - name, age

Male symbol - name, age

5
 Unknown gender

Married - add the year or ages

De facto relationship - commencement date or

ages

Separation - date or ages

Divorce - date or ages

List children in birth order and put names and ages either
within the symbol or underneath.

Death - a small cross in the corner of the

symbol (record date if known)

Dotted circle - this can be used to enclose the

members living together currently, for
example, who the young person is living with.

Conflictual relationship

Very close

Distant relationship

 What is It

As discussed on the Personal Development Teachers Guide manual (page

104-105), 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 ties 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 structure:

• 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

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 by choice or by life circumstances. The other parent may
have been part of the family at one time or not at all.

• Adoptive family: A family where one or more of the children has been adopted.
Any structure of family may also be an adoptive family.

• Bi-racial or multi-racial family: A family where the parents are members of

different racial identity groups.

• Trans-racial adoptive family: A family where the adopted child is of a different

racial identity group than the parents.

• Blended family: A family that consists of members from two (or more) previous
families.

• Conditionally separated families: A family member is separated from the rest of

the family. This may be due to employment far away; military service;
incarceration; hospitalization. They remain significant members of the family.

8
• Foster family: A family where one or more of the children is legally a temporary
member of the household. This “temporary” period may be as short as a few days or
as long as the child’s entire childhood.

• Gay or Lesbian family: A family where one or both of the parents’ sexual
orientation is gay or lesbian. This may be a two-parent family, an adoptive family, a
single parent family or an extended family.

• Immigrant family: A family where the parents have immigrated to another

country as adults. Their children may or may not be immigrants. Some family
members may continue to live in the country of origin, but still be significant
figures in the life of the child.

• Migrant family: A family that moves regularly to places where they have
employment. The most common form of migrant family is farm workers who move
with the crop seasons. Children may have a relatively stable community of people
who move at the same time - or the family may know no one in each new setting.
Military families may also lead a migrant life, with frequent relocation, often on
short notice.”
