Answer preview

Various changes have taken place since my parent’s and grandparents’ generation when it comes to the importance of my extended family circle. Among the changes include that children in my parents’ generation cannot bond with their extended family members like during my grandparents’ generation. This is because the perceptions and values they hold about the world are different since they are raised in different time periods (Tanskanen, & Danielsbacka, 2018). Understanding one another has been difficult when comparing the two generations. The bond my family has with the extended family members has not been diluted despite the changes.
