Possibility of cultural diversity

To decide whether a child’s family is culturally divergent we need to have a closer look at the family structure, everyday way of life, traditions, values, etc., which are usually deeply rooted in cultural, ethnic and national background. If a family is multicultural and/or belongs to any type of minority, it is probable that its structure and functioning may in some aspects differ from what we perceive as a “typical family” in a country of residence/host culture.
