"Anak-anak dibentuk oleh keluarga mereka."

Translation: Children are shaped by their family.

Not literally of course. That's why it would be really, really helpful and more meaningful if some context is providded. For example, "The children's attitude (toward school) is shaped by their family".

Were you confused by the meaning?

Sounds like wise words

Frequently you hear the word "molded" instead of "shaped" in this context (at least in America) and should also be accepted.

Shaped.......

The first time I wrote 'families', and it was marked wrong because it should have been 'family'. Now this translation by Duolingo (of the identical text) is 'families'. Argh. This lesson seems to be the most inflexible one I have done so far.
