Living in a fast paced society, social well beings are beginning to slip away in our daily lives including family. Family is defined as any combination of two or more parents who are bound together over time by ties of mutual consent, birth and/or adoption/placement and who, together, assume responsibility for variant combinations. Through this connection, affective nurturance, physical maintenance and care of group members, and production and consumption of goods and services are obtained. Sadly these functions are becoming lost as the family is being pushed aside to make room for school, friends and work. Canada’s current status rests at a level 6, but if not maintained soon, it will slowly fall apart. A family lacking emotional support and love is labeled as dysfunctional. Divorced parents especially tend to focus on physical rather than emotional support or do not find time to be supportive in this area.
