Answer:
joint family---Aboon to the growing child"
Explanation:
With the urbanisation and nuclear families gaining more ground, we don’t get to realise what we and our children must have been missing by not following our traditional practice of a joint family. A joint family system may have its drawbacks but it is surely a boon to the growing child.
In a house full of close ones like parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts etc. a small child gets the opportunity to enjoy and cherish the love and affection of so many around. He or she gets to share things with his/her cousins and thus grows into a person who learns to live with the fact that there are other people in the world besides himself or his parents. Thus he grows more sensitive, well balanced, less self-centred and more social. It is surely healthy for a child to have company whereby he finds various channels of communication. He gets to relate to people of all age-groups. If he needs a piece of good advice he can look up to so many. He doesn’t have to depend just on maid-servants for physical care.
A joint family, living in harmony, is undoubtedly a heavenly option for a growing child, especially in our times of stress and struggle for adults. It is a boon for him/her and there can’t be two opinions on this.
