Abstract
Abstract The main point of departure of this article is that the familial concepts presently in use are out of date, in so far as they do not adequately capture the changes in the positions and roles of family members in contemporary societies. The author focuses mainly on the age‐based categories, showing that the previous clear age boundaries with respect both to parenthood and childhood no longer hold, owing to changes in norms and the influence of modem technology.
