Chapter 12: Learning About Who Makes Up a Family and Fairness
Chapter 12 addresses all variations of family structures. The author begins by sharing statistics emphasizing that 50% of children in the United States will have experienced their parent’s separation, and half of them will witness a second marriage breakup during their lifetime, which may result in children most likely living in single-parent homes, blended families, grandparent’s homes, etc. Although families come from a variety of family structures, the author mentions it does not reveal the way a family may function. Biases are usually generated according to family structures; however, it is important to keep in mind that in all families, love, joy, harmony, and discord are present.
