This concept discussed by the book was very interesting.
I’ve previously studied this cycle but never really how important it really was
until now. The book breaks it down into 7 different stages.
- Young couples without
children
- Families with infants and
preschoolers
- Developing families with
children in elementary and high school
- Encouraging independence,
where adolescents discover themselves.
- Families launch children
into the world
- Post launching, after all
children have left the home
- Retirement, where couples
work is no longer a part of their life
I think every part of the cycle is extremely important.
However, being close to graduation and settling down myself, I feel as though
establishing a family with young kids is the next step for me (in a few more
years). I’ve already launched from my family and am now beginning my own life. I
also enjoy that step because little kids are cute, and when they get older they
are not so cute. Which stage of the cycle do you really look forward too?
