Family Structures and Legacies

What This Module Is About

This module provides you the key concepts that need to be learned about family
structures, and the legacies that are passed down to the next generation. Over the past
years, several variations of family have been created. Growing up, we witness noticeable
changes in the structure of a family. There are about more or less 13 major types of family
structures being recognized by society today. One of those is the nuclear family which is
commonly considered as the ideal or traditional family; and we often see that most of the
children in our society today live in a nuclear family unit. Another type of family structure is
the single-parent family which is often a mother, raising one or more children on her own,
although there are single fathers as well. These are some types of family structures. We will
learn more about this in the following section.

Aside from family structure, this module also deals with the family legacy. A family,
as a unit of society, has something to pass down to their children. It may be their values,
beliefs, or attitudes that they want their children to inherit. Some of these traditions are worth
to cherish and some of them are not. Being aware of your family legacies can help you
decide which beliefs, values, and attitudes you want to keep and which you want to modify to
change it for the better.

What is It

FAMILY STRUCTURE

The traditional family structure is considered a family support system that

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 structures:

 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
either 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.
 Stepfamilies: 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 the 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.
 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 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 farmworkers 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.

What is It
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

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

Activity 7: CASE STUDY: JANE, AGED 24

Jane is recently married and went to a clinic with recurrent headaches. Two months
ago, these were diagnosed as “tension headaches.” Her history and physical
examination results, including those from neurological and funduscopic exams, are
normal. The medication previously prescribed is not working and the headaches are
worse.

Jane’s headaches are characterized by pressure and aching in the back of the head
and temples, and started when she was in high school. The current episode started
with a two-week headache, followed by at least one headache weekly thereafter.
The patient denies marital problems or other life stresses related to the headache.

You obtain additional information when you construct her genogram.

Currently, Jane is working full time as a receptionist, and is attending college part
time. Her husband, Bob, who is also 24, is a full-time computer science/engineering
student.

Jane is the eldest of three children. Her sisters are 21 and 18. They have no
significant medical problems. Jane’s father, who is 44, and her mother, who is 42,
divorced when Jane was 14. Her father is healthy, but her mother has had
headaches in the past.

Jane’s paternal grandfather died of a myocardial infarction (MI) at age 69. Her
paternal grandmother is 67 and well. Her father has two brothers, aged 40 and 46.

Jane’s maternal grandfather died of pancreatic cancer in his 50s, and her 71-year-
old maternal grandmother is well. Her mother is the youngest of seven siblings (five
sisters and two brothers), none of whom has had significant illnesses.

Bob’s parents also are divorced. His mother, who is 42, has since remarried. His
father’s whereabouts are unknown. Bob has a sister, aged 16, and a brother aged
17.
On further questioning, Jane reveals that her mother’s headaches disappeared
following her divorce. Jane adds, “We kids never knew they had problems with their
marriage.” When asked further about her own marriage, Jane states that she and her
husband were full-time students at the time of their wedding. Although she was
carrying a heavier course load and was closer to graduation, they decided that she
should be the one to combine work and part-time school attendance, while he
continued full-time classes. The rationale for his light schedule was that this would
allow him to obtain the best grades possible. Although Jane agreed to this
arrangement, she seems unhappy about it. However, she still denies any marital
problems and has expressed no discontent to her husband. (Adapted from Wilson
and Becker.18)

 What clues does the genogram provide about possible causes of Jane’s
tension headaches?
 What is your hypothesis about the causes of Jane’s headaches?

What is It

FAMILY LEGACIES

No matter who we are, where we live, or what our goals may be, we all have
one thing in common: a heritage. That is, a social, emotional, and spiritual legacy
passed on from parent to child. Every one of us is passed a heritage, lives out a
heritage, and gives a heritage to our family. It's not an option. Parents always pass
to their children a legacy…good, bad, or some of both.
 A spiritual, emotional, and social legacy is like a three-stranded cord.
Individually, each strand cannot hold much weight. But wrapped together, they are
strong. That's why passing on a positive, affirming legacy is so important and why
a negative legacy can be so destructive. The good news is that you can decide to
pass a positive legacy on to your children whether you received one or not.

Today, if we don't intentionally pass a legacy consistent with our beliefs to

our children, our culture will pass along its own, often leading to a negative end. It
is important to remember that passing on a spiritual, emotional, and social legacy is
a process, not an event. As parents, we are responsible for the process. God is
responsible for the product.

The Emotional Legacy

In order to prosper, our children need an enduring sense of security and
stability nurtured in an environment of safety and love.

The Social Legacy

To really succeed in life, our children need to learn more than management
techniques, accounting, reading, writing, and geometry. They need to learn the fine
art of relating to people. If they learn how to relate well to others, they'll have an
edge in the game of life.

The Spiritual Legacy

The Spiritual Legacy is overlooked by many, but that's a mistake. As
spiritual beings, we adopt attitudes and beliefs about spiritual matters from one
source or another. As parents, we need to take the initiative and present our faith
to our children.

The Emotional Legacy

Sadly, many of us struggle to overcome a negative emotional legacy that
hinders our ability to cope with the inevitable struggles of life. But imagine yourself
giving warm family memories to your child. You can create an atmosphere that
provides a child's fragile spirit with the nourishment and support needed for healthy
emotional growth. It will require time and consistency to develop a sense of
emotional wholeness, but the rewards are great.
A strong emotional legacy:

 Provides a safe environment in which deep emotional roots can grow.

 Fosters confidence through stability.
 Conveys a tone of trusting support.
 Nurtures a strong sense of positive identity.
 Create a “resting place” for the soul.
 Demonstrates unconditional love.

Which characteristics would you like to build into the legacy you pass along
to your children? Even if you don't hit the exact mark, setting up the right target is
an important first step.

The Social Legacy

In order to prosper, our children need to gain the insights and social skills
necessary to cultivate healthy, stable relationships. As children mature, they must
learn to relate to family members, teachers, peers and friends. Eventually they
must learn to relate to coworkers and many other types of people such as
salespeople, bankers, mechanics and bosses.

Nowhere can appropriate social interaction and relationships be

demonstrated more effectively than in the home. At home you learned and your
children will learn lessons about respect, courtesy, love and involvement. Our
modeling as parents plays a key role in passing on a strong social legacy. Key
building blocks of children's social legacy include:

• Respect, beginning with themselves and working out to other people.

• Responsibility, fostered by respect for themselves that is cultivated by
assigning children duties within the family making them accountable for their
actions, and giving them room to make wrong choices once in a while.
• Unconditional love and acceptance by their parents, combined with conditional
acceptance when the parents discipline for bad behavior or actions.
• The setting of social boundaries concerning how to relate to God, authority,
peers, the environment and siblings.
• Rules that are given within a loving relationship

The Spiritual Legacy

Parents who successfully pass along a spiritual legacy to their children

model and reinforce the unseen realities of the godly life. We must recognize that
passing a spiritual legacy means more than encouraging our children to attend
church, as important as that is. The church is there to support parents in raising
their children but it cannot do the raising; only parents can.

The same principle applies to spiritual matters. Parents are primary in

spiritual upbringing, not secondary. This is especially true when considering that
children, particularly young children, perceive God the way they perceive their
parents. If their parents are loving, affirming, forgiving and yet strong in what they
believe, children will think of God that way. He is someone who cares, who is
principled and who loves them above all else.

The Legacy You Want to Give

We all have good and bad parts to the legacy we have inherited. The key is
to move forward from here. For some, taking a closer look at the legacy they've
been given helps them assess the legacy they want to pass on. After considering
your past, here are some practical tips for the future:

Decide what you'll keep:

You probably have things you received that are wonderful and need to be
kept and passed on. Other things may need to be thrown out. Or, perhaps you have
a weak legacy that needs strengthening.

Whatever you received, you can now intentionally pass along the good. This
isn't always easy. If you saw hypocrisy in your parents' lives, you may be tempted
to throw everything out even though much of what your parents modeled was
good. Don't. That would be like burning down the house to get rid of some bugs.
 Realize that there is a being who can redeem even the "bad stuff" in your
legacy. Unfortunately many of us have parts of our legacy that are weak or even
awful. Maybe one of your parents was an alcoholic or abusive or didn't provide the
nurturing you needed. In today's society, the stories of such families are common.
You may be asking, "How do I give something I didn't receive? Nobody modeled
this stuff for me."

Hope is not lost. Consider the story of Josiah from the Old Testament in the
Bible. His father and grandfather were involved in many wicked things, including
idol worship that threatened the entire nation. But after 8-year-old Josiah became
king of Judah, he reversed that trend. He sought God and purged Judah of idols,
repaired the temple and saved a nation.

Like Josiah, you can choose which things in your legacy are no good and
throw them away. It's important to break the cycle of hurt by leaving bad things
behind and creating a new legacy. Legacies are not easily broken and always
benefit from His guidance.

Chart a new course as you begin a positive legacy for yourself and those
you love. Research suggests that most fathers will parent the way they
were parented. That means only a minority of fathers will change their
parenting style even if their parenting is wrong! Today, you can take
positive steps to design a new heritage for yourself and your family.
