hi friends, how to raise a kid in a nuclear family. i have grown up in a combined/group family culture. i find it really difficult to make my kid to raise in this nuclear family culture. I feel it has more disadvantages and the kid is not becoming familiar and not moving friendly with others. He is not willing to share his toys or things which ever he have with other kids. Ofcourse, the neighbourhood children are also like the same. No difference. The kids who are raised in nuclear family are more adament when compared to the kids who are raised in group family. this is my opinion.what about yours friend? and give me some tips of how to raise a kid in a nuclear family.

Is it correct to assume that your child is an only child? This is typical behavior of single children situations. I was raised in a nuclear family and had one sister growing up, so I was forced to share with others. My niece on the other hand is an only child and can lean towards being selfish at times. Ways my sister has worked on this is by preparing group outings/play dates with some of my niece's friends and preparing games that work on share building skills where the reward is greater if they share and cooperate versus working individually. Reward your child for sharing and playing well. Praise him for small acts of kindness towards others and he will quickly understand that is the behavior you wish to see from him.
