Successful Family Relationships

17 July 2007

Family relationships are critical to the physical, mental, and social health of growing children. Family relationships are so important because they affect many aspects of our lives. Family relationships are strengthened when members relate to one another in order to solve problems, rather than seek to control other. Family relationships are often strained when there is insufficient income for the family. Family relationships are often portrayed as being supportive and an environment for growth yet not everyone is capable of providing the kinds of physical, emotional or mental support we need.

Parenting

Every child deserves to be wanted, loved, and valued for who he is rather than as a stopgap or replacement for a child one dreams of parenting. Parenting styles have a definite impact on children. The authoritative style of parenting fosters open communication and problem solving between parents and their children. In contrast, overbearing parenting may produce fearful and dependent children. Permissive parenting may result in rebellious children. And indifferent parenting may render hostile and delinquent children.
