Most American families are smaller than those in other countries. Usually there are one or two parents and one or two children in each American family.
Children in the USA will leave their parents when they grow up. They want to find better jobs, so they usually live far away from their parents. They often write to their parents or call them. And they go to visit their parents during their holidays.
