Family Development

Family development refers to the processes and changes that families experience over time as they grow and evolve. This includes stages such as forming, expanding through childbirth, nurturing children, and eventually dealing with aging and loss. Each stage has unique challenges and dynamics that influence family relationships and roles. Factors such as cultural background, economic conditions, and social changes impact how families develop. Understanding family development helps in recognizing the common patterns all families go through, allowing for better support and adaptation to life's transitions.
