Why Family Meetings is vital

Every member of your family has a right to have his or her opinions respected. You don’t have to agree or go along with what your child wants, but you should at least know what it is, and your child should know why you're overriding his or her preferences. Regular family meetings, where everyone including the children expresses feelings, negative and positive, and all of you work together to solve problems, can help a lot. Begin family meetings as soon as possible, whether you think you have any issues to discuss or not.

When talking about a family, it is perhaps of value to distinguish between a family of birth or a family that an individual grows up in, and a family that an individual makes for themselves of any nature. The family that an individual makes for themselves is perhaps the easier one to answer the question for. Any individual who enters a relationship with another individual and perhaps has children and extended family as part of that will of necessity be taking on additional responsibilities that they themselves have chosen. This sense of responsibility will inevitably dete

Do You Guide or Dominate Your Children?

This question obviously applies mainly to people who have their own children, but can equally apply to people who as children are aware of their own upbringing, and can also apply to how an individual treats other people in his life who he effectively has some responsibility for, either at work or in some other type of social context. The issue is perhaps clearer when referred to an individuals own children, but has a very important focus in terms of how an individual relates to any group of people who he has responsibility for. Any parent is likely to at some level have mixed feelings between the need to let their children have the freedom to grow and develop and be themselves, and at another level be moved to be overprotective and maybe dominate them either in order to keep them safe or to keep them close to the parent, especially if the familydynamic is not a particularly healthy one. The issue of whether or not an individual guides or dominates their children opens up the questio
