Answer

... don't they?

Tags have the opposite sense of the statement.

The family = group of people so they (not it - it is for inanimate objects).

Answer

To my American ear,  it will usually sound better to say "don't they" for a family. But there could be instances where the family is really acting as a single unit, and "doesn't it" would be ok, but not necessary.
