Chfd225 week 8 discussion family policy

. Please read, chapter 26 in “Contemporary Issues in Family Studies: Global Perspectives on Partnerships, Parenting and Support in a Changing World” in our readings to complete the discussion this week.

While most people can identify the issues affecting American families, not many people understand what goes into the development of family policy, let alone agree on what the role of government should be regarding families. Based on your experience and what you learned this week, what are the principles that should guide the development of family policy? Please share your “take away” from the reading this week. For example, did you learn anything new or did anything surprise you? Feel free to use outside scholarly sources to complete this discussion as well.
