TASKS
It starts with marriage and lasts until the birth of
the first child. It is also termed “getting
acquainted” stage, when two partners endeavor
to know one other’s psyche and behavioral
potential. To reach their long-term aim in their
married life, both couples must learn to
effectively manage their time, energy, and
finances.
Ryujin, Taehyung’s wife, has just given birth to
their first child, whom they have called
Chaeyoung. New members are now being
accepted into the system. In order to care for this
additional child, they will need to make changes
to their normal schedules, budgets, and
responsibilities. In their new role as
grandparents, they must also make time for visits
and exchanges with their parents.
Chaeyoung is a preschool student who is full of
enthusiasm, excitement, and curiosity. And, while
her parents adore her, she can be draining. Now
is the moment for Taehyung and Ryujin to accept
their child's new personality and adjust to it in
whatever way works best for them. Rob and
Penny must also make an effort to spend time
together as a pair, such as by going on dates.
Chaeyoung is eight years old, and Taehyung and
Ryujin must now decide whether or not to allow
their child to form relationships outside of the
family. This means they've given Chaeyoung
permission to attend to Chayeon's house for her
birthday celebration or invite Lia over on
Saturday. Along with fostering social contacts,
this period involves tasks such as academic
encouragement and managing increasing
activities, such as Chaeyoung's after-school play
rehearsals.
Taehyung and Ryujin are going through a difficult
period right now. Chaeyoung is now 15 years old
and has shown a desire for more independence.
The key concern then becomes expanding the
flexibility of family boundaries so that
 independence can be achieved. Taehyung and
Ryujin must adjust their parenting roles to some
extent and give opportunities for Chaeyoung's
development.
Post-parental Family After all these years, it's strange for Taehyung
and Ryujin to be alone in the house again. They
are now letting go of their children and turning
back to face each other. Now that their
conversations are not focused on Chaeyoung,
they are learning to share other things with each
other and building their closeness. Chaeyoung is
now 25 and married, so they welcome her back
to their home for visits. The final task to face now
is managing the continued aging and new
illnesses present in Ryujin's father and
Taehyung's mother.
Aging Family Finding an accommodating home for later years
Adjust income for retirement
Adjust to life alone
Caring for aging self or relatives
Maintain contact with children and grandchildren

2. Answer the following questions briefly, but exhaustively. Try to give out scenarios and examples.

A. Describe your family.

- My family is not perfect but full of love, we may not have everything but we have what we only need
and that’s what matters. We are not rich, nor poor but in the middle. We may not be rich in money and
properties but my family is rich in love and full of wisdoms that we will treasure until we grew older. My
parents support us in what we want in the future, they always tell us to follow our dreams and they’ll
just support us until we reach it. I’m so lucky to have them.

B. Expound on the current tasks that your family performs.

- Both of my parent work. My mom is a midwife and my father is a security officer so me and my sibling
where the only left in the house. As the eldest of my siblings. I am the one who is in charge of taking
care of my two brothers, clean the house, and cook the meals to eat. Even though my parents are busy
they still have time for us to have a simple bonding.
