The process by which children acquitter attitudes, beliefs, behaviours, and skill deemed appropriate in a given culture. Levine (1974): families in every society have same three basic goals. Ake sure they (children) survive to adulthood. Give them skills and attitudes needed to support themselves.

The family system is composed of a variety of subsystems. For example, the subsystems in a family consisting of two parents and an adolescents would be: mother and adolescent, father and adolescent, mother and father.
