When all the dust is settled and all the crowds are gone, the things that matter are faith, family, and friends.

Family is the most important and essential institution of every individual, be it animals or humans, every organism needs a family to survive. Without family life seems pointless or directionless since only family holds you Back when no one is at your side.

In the recent times a lot of changes have altered the family patterns. Nowadays smaller and nuclear families are observed more in our surroundings.

Lets understand the broader aspect of this scenario!

What joint families can give oneself a nuclear family would never be able to deliver that values or ethics. Joint family in general comprises of parents children and their grandparents. And in a broader perspective as per Indian culture the three are also joined by cousins aunts and uncles. In these families people eat their meals together, their food is cooked together so this essence of togetherness is inculcated in the kids from the beginning since they grow up with these values.

In these families children spend their time with variety of people under the same roof so they tend to be a little more aware of the mindsets of people. Also children spend a lot of time with their grandparents and what grandparents can teach their grandchildren no other relative or relationship would ever teach those values . The bond is so special and so strong that it is actually beautiful to see reflecting it later.

Now comes the nuclear families. These families are characterized with kids and their parents. These families are mostly formed after migration of the father for work or some personal issue. But nowadays it has become a trend since people have adopted the nuclear family trend . This is because people feel that their privacy is under surveillance while living in a joint family wherein a nuclear family provides more privacy to the people. Such families generally have working parents and the children don’t have anyone to look after for some hours in a day and that is felt to kids after a point of time in their lives . Also such families lack the values what joint family children might have . Although this is not 100% true but at times this situation turns true because in a joint family even if the parents are working the grandparents are their to look after but in the other case they are been looked after by their maids who may or may not be trustworthy in any facets of trust.

One should try to live with their families as much as possible and if not possible one should always stay connected to their families. Also to include is the point that their children must also be in contact with their maternal and paternal families . Since being in touch with families will always help them cope up with every hurdle they come across to.

It is not important what type of family one has what’s important is that one must inculcate the values that are being followed since generation and should also be a part of the present. Children should always have the essence of their ancestors and their values.
