The configuration of American families these days has become more diverse and complex during recent decades. The majority of children do not live in what was once considered the traditional family structure headed by a mother and father. Several children are being raised in single-parent families, blended families, adoptive families, foster families, extended families, gay/lesbian families, biracial families, etc.

Choose one type of family configuration to focus on and consider the socio-cultural and socioeconomic factors these families may encounter.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

  • What are the advantages and challenges for children of that family configuration?
  • What interventions would you suggest to address these challenges?

  • How does this topic link to the College’s Conceptual Framework and the framework’s philosophical relationship to effective teacher preparation?
