'''Family values''', sometimes referred to as '''familial values''', are [[tradition]]al or cultural [[values]] that pertain to the [[family]]'s structure, function, roles, beliefs, attitudes, and ideals. Additionally, the concept of family values may be understood as a reflection of the degree to which familial relationships are valued within an individual's life.

In the social sciences and U.S. political discourse, the conventional term ''[[Nuclear family|traditional family]]'' describes the [[nuclear family]]—a child-rearing environment composed of a [[leader|leading]] father, a [[homemaking]] mother, and their nominally biological [[children]]. A family deviating from this model is considered a [[Non-traditional family|nontraditional family]].
