Summary: How much do you know about families? Simply living in a family doesn't make anyone an expert on them. When asked to name what means the most to them in their lives, people often respond, "My family." Obviously, the care of families is too important to be left to chance. Turning to the expertise, knowledge, and experience of others makes good sense. You may be surprised to discover all that you can learn and put to good use in your life after studying about families.
