Introduction Growth demands change and since a human being has to grow so do human systems, as a result of this change is therefore inevitable. Growth in human life can simply be defined as increase in all aspects of life including physical and emotional. As a young man grows in a home, he starts wanting his space especially as soon as he gets to adolescent age. Things change sometimes so fast that even “dear mummy” is now prohibited from entering his bedroom. All these are signs of growth though they are not necessarily pleasant or welcome; they are inevitable and need adjustments (Michael and Richard 2004). Discussion Normally a family starts with two people; traditionally a man and woman. When a young man/woman finally moves from their parents’ home, they go out with an intention of making a home for themselves. Though this feels nice at first, it also comes with a lot of responsibility. The young man has now to pay for his own rent, food, gas, etc. it becomes a stage in life where someone learns how to become independent; physically, financially, and emotionally. For some despite a few manageable challenges, it works out well but for others it proves so difficult that they have to keep on moving in and out of their parents’ home before they can finally settle. As the young man learns how to stay by himself another type of growth occurs in him and he realizes that he needs some company and starts looking for a person he can marry. (Monica and Carter, 1989). Marriage comes with its own different responsibility. The young person has not only to expand his budget but also has to have a bigger heart that can accommodate his fiancée’s behavior and also his in-laws’ interference with the running of his home. After sometimes the young couple will soon desire to have children and that will mean more new members of the family. With this again comes an expansion in that the young couple now has to adjust to allow a baby in their lives. Many marriages start having problems here since the child will demand too much time especially from the mother and she is likely to unconsciously start neglecting her husband. It becomes a really interesting scenario when both the child and the father begin to fight for the mother’s/spouse’s attention. If the above is not handled wisely, the man often starts looking for other sources of attention and if that persists the marital bonds gradually begin to loosen. Apart from emotional challenges, there are other needs that come up; the young couple has now to expand their budget to cater for their baby’s expense which can be a strain if not afore planned for. As the baby grows up parenting becomes an uphill task especially for new parents since they are faced with a modeling and mentoring roles that they couldn’t care much about before. At this stage the child’s grandparents feel obliged to interfere which does not always go well if the child’s parents are not in agreement with their parents’ way of bringing up their child. (Michael and Richard 2004). As children grow they themselves undergo different stages of growth. One of the most important stages is that of adolescents. During this period there arise many challenges affecting both the teenager and their parents. At this stage the young adult’ seeks trust from his parents that he can manage his life just fine. On the other hand, th
