There is no simple answer to the question because the children's genders are not independent events. They depend on the parents' ages and their genes.
However, if you assume that children's genders are independent events then, given that the probability of a girl is approx 0.48.

What is the probability that a family continue to have children until they have a boy will have more than three children?

The answer to this is 1 minus the probability that they will have 3 or fewer children. This would happen only if they had a boy as the first, second or third child. The probability they have a boy as first child is 0.5 The probability they have a boy as second is 0.25 The probability they have a boy as third is 0.125 Thus the total probability is 0.875 And so the probability they will have more than three children is 1-0.875 or 0.125
