One benefit of this way of raising children is that the children are brought up to fit into the larger community or society. The tendency toward waywardness is drastically reduced. One of the disadvantages of the extended family system is that some members tend to exhibit lazy attitudes towards life.
WHAT I LOVE
Extended family members, especially grandparents, can assist in passing on cultural teachings and traditions, including language. For example, grandparents can share stories, skills and teachings during their time with the grandchildren. This is also connected to the children's healthy self-esteem.
