Families are struggling against a tide of junk information on junk food.

I was lucky. My family is wonderful. And it's funny because most of my best friends come from very large families. So it always felt as if I had lots of siblings though in the end I had to leave them and go home. I kind of got the best of both worlds as a kid.

The extraordinary thing about India is that it's such a family place. It's full of families everywhere.

There is a common theme though in the stories I have told which are usually associations of characters or families that are formed outside of a family circle.

I like all the families in the U.K. But what I like about the idea of the royal family is... they seem like they're well educated and there's something admirable about them. And the Queen... she reminds me of my grandma.

Whole communities are growing up without fathers or male role models. Bringing up a family in the best of circumstances is not easy.

When families are strong and stable so are children - showing higher levels of wellbeing and more positive outcomes. But when things go wrong - either through family breakdown or a damaged parental relationship - the impact on a child's later life can be devastating.
