Family life education: toward the 21st century

Families live in a changing world and as a result of their interactions with that world, families themselves are changing. These changes create strains and tensions for families at the same time that they provide opportunities for individual and social growth and improvement. In order to more effectively assist families in coping with both the tensions and the opportunities, family life education needs to give serious attention to such issues as family diversity, family values, and human rights.
