I feel like sharing this paragraph on this page with all.. Comparing the scale for family unit from different background...'you almost need an electron microscope to study the modern western family these days'...
I was thinking on how small our unit became now, and how small it will be in the future..the size might not be in numbers, but in our closeness and 'discloseness'..
I am concern with the fact that we sometimes feel 'complete' with our own nuclear unit, while in the past the extended members are so much more 'needed'.. With this in mind, personally, i think that we have to deliberately make an effort to make everyone around us feel needed and appreciated..
