The family is analyzed as a fundamental human community important for various humanistic disciplines, concluding that it is both a social and biological community. Since the mid-20th century, social changes have led to the evolution of family dynamics and the reduction of traditional nuclear families. The value system is shaped within the family environment, and modern parenting approaches allow for the development of children's autonomy while maintaining close family bonds. Contemporary families experience changes due to urbanization, globalization, and liberalism, resulting in diverse family forms and increased employment of women. Media shape viewers' perceptions and expectations of family structures and gender roles, influencing the formation of attitudes and identities. This paper analyzes the depictions of family structures and parenting styles in the television series „Modern Family.“ The research aims to assess how different parenting approaches and family models affect child development and how these elements are portrayed in the series. Using content analysis, 125 episodes of the series were analyzed. The research results show that the series depicts various family models, including same-sex families, mixed marriages, and foster families. The dominant parenting style is permissive, emphasizing children's autonomy and independence. The series also highlights important family values such as love, respect, support, and fairness.
