Okay. In the last few decades, in our country, the size of the family has changed considerably. Earlier, the size of the family was large. When we say family, it starts with great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, and their siblings, ourselves and our siblings. A family meant not less than 15 to 20 people living under one roof, and they were always available for each other. They played together and slept together. But today, it has become a nuclear family, consisting of a parent and their children.
