The family is the main unit of the society. For each family that is psychologically and scientifically enhanced, the world economy increases by 0.3%, human evolution accelerates by 0.07%, and the world becomes 0.09% more peaceful place to live in.
Keep in mind: Small numbers, can make massive changes given an ample amount of time.
If a single individual can change the world so much, what about an entire family working together? or an entire community? or the whole country?

Project: Speed of Life - Take a picture of children each day from birth to 20 years old. Each picture should have an emotional expression for the day (EEFTD). Then teach them to take pictures of themselves each day until they die. For each 10 years they should compile those pictures into time lapse. When they die, their children or grandson should compile all those lifetime pictures into a great biographical movie similar to how the celestial animators covert your memories in the flesh after you die into a 4 dimensional movie.
Project: Ultimate Environment - Train each parents such that each children will be able to grow into Ultimate individuals in a perfectly researched environment that will boost their mental growth and personalities by 300% at least.
Project: The Perfect Family - Create, research, and develop many ways that will make the best families which will turn every society they live in into the best communities to live in. Teach them the perfect ways of raising a child, showing affection, maximizing interaction, and giving support.
Project: Weekly Meetings - Every week of each month, the family will gather and have a regular meeting at a specified time which is quite flexible and can be adjusted but mostly during the morning or night. They will discuss the problems that happened, currently happening, and will happen in their household. They will also discuss the new things that should be improved, added, or removed in the household. When making decisions, it will be by reasonable voting and discussions.
Project: Individual Talk - Every week of each month, each member should have talked at least once with another member of the family and this is one of the things that shall be checked at the weekly meetings of the family. The talk can be anything but it shall have a minimum of 10 minutes and the only evidence needed is a testimony from both of the people that their "talks" are confirmed.

The article above is an article I made many years ago which proposes a modern family system. Looking back, I sound a lot more logical and intellectual back then. My words flow like a straight line, exactly like a train of thought. Meanwhile my words these days flow in curved lines, as if they're waves of thought. Anyway I'm here to add an update to this system, to build upon the old.
First of all, the project: individual talk is way too formal and strange. It's supposed to be intimate and spontaneous, it's something that should not be forced but rather it's something that naturally occurs in a good and healthy environment. Instead of forcing such talks, it would be better to schedule regular family activities that promote self-expression and vulnerability. Therefore, it would be better to replace that project with Project: Fun Time — at least one hour of each day must be dedicated to family bonding like playing games together, watching movies together, going outside together, and other fun family activities.
Other interesting projects to consider would be:
Project: Free Thinker - Whenever the child asks a question, the parents should not answer immediately and should ask the child about what they think first. Whenever important decisions would be made concerning the household that would definitely affect the daily life of the child, the parents should listen to their opinion first even if they're going to do it anyway. This will help the child understand that it's important for them to be heard and they deserve to be listened to, no matter how irrational they are.
Project: Daily Meetings - While weekly meetings are a good start, I believe families are close enough that at least 10 minutes of daily meetings at the end of the day would prove to be beneficial for them. After all, weekly meetings are for small organizations and informal groups, so daily meetings should be for families. In this 10 minutes of meeting at the end of each day, every family member shall discuss about their thoughts and reflection about their day, what they managed to do, and what they plan to do tomorrow. It is also a good opportunity for them to learn how to criticize safely and with the other person's consent. More details can be found in the example below:
Human1: Hey human, I have something bad I want to say to you. Do you want to hear?
(If they say no, Human1 only responds okay and the other family members change the conversation.)
Human2: Yes.
Human1: I think what you did today is @#$_&-+ $&#-#-
Human 2: Alright. (Thanks for telling me)
Alternate response:
Human 2: Can I say something back?
Human 1: Go ahead.
Human 2: That's only because I was trying to...
Human 1: Okay
It's necessary for the parents here to act as a facilitator that encourages self-expression but discourage physical or verbal abuse. Whenever someone does or say something wrong, it is imperative that they don't respond something like "Don't do it, that's bad!" but rather they should respond "I understand that... But it's not a good idea to do it that way because... So if you're going to do it again, do it like this instead..."
Eventually, the family is going to get so comfortable with each other that they'll say what they dislike about each other without needing to ask first or taking offense about it. In social stuff, I heard it's called "playful banter". Just like how teeth braces are removed once they have fulfilled their purpose, these projects should also be abandoned once they have completed their purpose. One must abandon the boat after they have reached the other side.
Project: Life Expansion - Children shall go outside and talk to strangers for at least one hour each day while being supervised by a capable adult. This habit will make the world and other people more accessible for them, reduce anxiety, and help them become more expressive. They shall learn how to talk to strangers, interview them, and ask them questions. This is the same habit that the protagonist of my favorite nonfiction book had, they always went to the plaza every morning when they were a child and talked to a lot of people. As a result, they learned to speak and understand many more languages than their parents, plus they learned a lot of things that their parents and teachers don't teach them. It is absolutely necessary for a human being to comprehend and experience that most human beings are not threatening and are willing to talk, just as how it is necessary for them to experience that some human beings are indeed threatening and not worth talking with.
Project: Independence - I think children 10 years old and above should get their own room, and children 15 years old and above should at least have an Outpost House, which is a small house consisting of a short distance from their parents' house but at least 15 minutes away from its line of sight. In this way, the children can safely learn and explore independence without being completely separated from their parents. Plus the parents will become aware of their relationship with their teens depending on the frequency of which they go to the family home and the level of hospitality they would receive when visiting the outpost house of their children. The outpost house may be small but it is complete with basic necessities, and that house is something the teen can consider as their own. Thus, the teen can also upgrade their outpost house or add their own decorations by using the money they earned. They'll learn to maintain and manage their outpost house too, preparing them for the challenges of adulthood. Security isn't a problem if the neighborhood is safe enough and the children are raised by kind and caring parents. What's interesting is that there's enough space in front of the house to start a business, so they can learn entrepreneurship too. The ages 10+ and 15+ are the minimum age assuming that the children are raised properly and healthily, otherwise the age should be increased and additional security measures should be installed. Parents may introduce the outpost house directly or as a reward for being a productive teen.
