The ability to adapt is one of the ways individuals survive uncertain situations like today. This article reviews the adaptation process from the family environment, focusing on finding models from various literacy on how family institutions adapt and then map them into adaptations that families can do during the Covid-19 pandemic. The literature study from this study resulted that family resilience in dealing with changes in the order in various areas of life was carried out through family adaptation during the Covid-19 pandemic, which could be; a. The ability of family members to be more open and respect privacy when communicating during total activities at home, b.
