Week 6 – Assignment: Examine the Family Life Cycle

Instructions

After
reading the assigned materials, create a presentation that compares at
least three of the Family Life Cycle Stages, and considers developmental
challenges that make one stage more at risk for marital dissolution
when compared to the two others. In addition, provide at least two
examples of rituals that might be helpful to family members while
dealing with the described transitions.

Good presentations do not contain too much information in the
slides/transitions. They contain enough information to “whet the
appetite” of the participants, and then the presenter completes the
presentation with his or her narration. So, to complete the
presentation, add narration with the presentations or make notes or provide a transcript of what you would say along with the slides/transitions. 10-12 slides

Your presentation
should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards (slides
should have citations where information is used from an outside source
and there should be a references slide at the end with full APA
citations of all material used in the presentation). Cherlin, A. J., P, L. C., & McRae, C. (1998). Effects of parental divorce on mental health throughout the life course. American Sociological Review, 63(2), 239-249. Retrieved from http://search.proquest.com.proxy1.ncu.edu/docview/.
