Briefly describe each of McGoldrick, Carter, and Garcia-Preto’s (2011) seven family life cycle stages.
What will be an ideal response?
(1) Leaving home: Single young adults become independent and self-sufficient. (2) Joining of families through marriage or union: A new couple forms a new family system and the spouse is incorporated into existing family systems. (3) Families with young children: Taking care of children; adjusting the marriage; and managing child-related, financial, and other responsibilities are among the primary tasks. (4) Families with adolescents: Parents provide children with increasing amounts of independence and may adopt caretaking roles for their own parents as well. (5) Launching children and moving on in midlife: Adjusting to the “empty nest,” managing relationships with children’s partners, and taking on the grandparent role are central. (6) Families in late middle age: Focus shifts to managing declining health, adopting to new roles in family and community. (7) Families nearing the end of life: Accept the realities and inevitability of death (one’s own and that of family members); frequently, the caretaker roles between older and younger generations are reversed.
