Nuclear family and extended family are differ considerably in interpersonals skills, how they deal with conflicts  in family and how much time they have together. To begin with, compareD with extended family, nuclear one is a cradle to nurture children’s personalities in a better way. Because from my point of view, small family is a up-to-date family. So when the children bring [GROW] up, they have many good character; for example, children living in A small family tend to more confident, high independent, self-aware than those [whom] living IN A large one. Secondly, children and parents living in a nuclear family can solve conflicts more easily; they can give their own views, thereby eliminating problems. Meanwhile, in extended family that have many generations living together leads to higher disagreements. So it is difficult to agree on an opinion. In addition to these, parents in small family can't spend too much time with their children but they can study them how to take care of themselves. While in a large family, the children usually tend to not to do housework beause of having grandmother, mother,... In conclusion, raising children in nuclear family helps them develop better than extended one.
