How to use "Nuclear family" in context?
The nuclear family has come under attack in recent years as it is argued that traditional nuclear families do not engage in beneficial social behaviors. According to many theorists, the traditional nuclear family is not conducive to the development of children's social skills and can actually lead to child neglect and abuse. The argument against the nuclear family rests on the premise that children learn more from living in a cohesive group environment where they are emotionally supported, than from living in a solitary home with only one parent present. In recent years, the idea of the nuclear family has been challenged by psychologists and sociologists who have argued that children learn more from interacting with both parents.
