Module 9
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.

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)

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.
