When it comes to the significance of familial influence during childhood cannot be overstated I strongly agreed to it. Well in my opinion, we all believe that the primary ecological niche is the family for developing a child. Our first place of learning is from our individual family and not school which we can view by saying family is the first school of emotional intelligence, moral reasoning, and social skills.

The pattern of attachment that a child learn all begins from family because learning from peers and broader society. When parents nurture a stable family there is a tendency that the parents are going to overcome future challenges and when parents invest in a healthy family system the children can become successful in life. The role of parents can positively or negatively influence their children's behaviour which depends on the kind of behaviour that is shown to children.

Which type of familial culture would you prefer, and what is the rationale behind your preference?

A modified support nuclear family model is what I would prefer if I were to make a choice. Now back to the contest questions about rationale let's talk about it.

Rationale: This is best because it synthesis the core strength of both joint and nuclear family. The whole household would be a nuclear family of parents and children which parents guide their children to the right pathways. Although there would be an isolation in unity because everything would be connected through consistent effort to a network of extended family.

There is usually a village more that offers which; the nuclear core allows for agility, decision making, management of routines etc. Resilience which during a crisis or job loss, the support network can mobilise for the victim.
