The document concludes that any group of two or more people who agree to support each other and take on family roles can be considered a family, regardless of traditional definitions.

Attachment refers to the affectionate bond between individuals that provides emotional closeness and endures over time and space. It offers a safe base and supports psychological, physical, cognitive, and moral development from infancy through adulthood. Attachment behaviors signal a child's need for care and protection. Patterns of attachment include secure, ambivalent, avoidant, and disorganized. While concepts of attachment are universal, aspects vary across cultures. A lack of attachment can cause difficulties relating to others, developing social skills, caring for others, and following rules. Separation and loss involve stages of shock, denial, anger, bargaining, sadness, and eventually resolution.

Importance of Pre and Post Marital Therapy by Ms. Paulomi Pandit UpadhyayHealth Education Library for People
Pre-marital and post-marital counseling can help couples with relationship issues. Pre-marital counseling occurs before marriage to address important topics like finances, communication, values and roles. Post-marital counseling happens after marriage to resolve issues like lack of communication, infidelity, abuse or incompatibility. Counseling can be done face-to-face, online or in workshops, and benefits include better communication skills, earlier resolution of problems, and a framework for a healthy relationship. Seeking counseling is recommended when arguments are frequent without resolution, affairs have occurred, or the only solution seems like separation.The Psychological Benefits of Physical Touch in Early Life

Attachment Theory by Katrina Sommerfeld
Attachment theory describes the emotional bond between a person and their caregiver. Mary Ainsworth identified three types of attachment in children - secure, ambivalent, and avoidant. A fourth type, disorganized attachment, was later identified. The quality of attachment can change over time due to major life events like abuse or the death of a loved one. Characteristics like parental stress, responsiveness to a child's needs, marital status, socioeconomic status, and caregiver mental health influence the attachment process. Children with insecure attachment are more likely to have problems with relationships, self-esteem, and academics long-term compared to securely attached children.

W Foerster - Counselling Families with CYF
The document describes a counselling approach used with a family where the children had been removed by Child Youth and Family (CYF) due to concerns about unsafe visitors and the parents' ability to care for the children's needs. A co-gender counselling approach was used with two counsellors, a male and female, to work collaboratively with both the family and CYF. Over multiple counselling sessions, the counsellors helped strengthen the parents' relationship and parenting skills. As a result of the counselling, the children were able to return home safely and the parents were actively engaged in caring for the children and household.
Connecting Individuals, Families and Society
Individuals live in families, which are the basic building blocks of society. Families allow societies to function by assigning roles to individuals and eliciting their necessary contributions. The family and society are interdependent - families require support from the larger society in order to survive, and societies rely on families to carry out essential functions. There is no single definition of "family" - definitions vary between cultures and individuals based on experiences and purposes, such as determining social policy benefits.

March 30 managing relationships
Managing relationships requires self-awareness, self-control, and tolerance of other beliefs. It is important to regularly evaluate relationships to ensure one's needs are being met and the relationship is fair and comfortable. Peer pressure can be positive or negative, and one should avoid suggestions that contradict personal values. Anger is a natural emotion in conflicts but should be controlled to avoid verbal or physical attacks. Poor anger management includes suppressing or lashing out with anger, while good management focuses on forgiveness, positivity, communication, problem-solving, understanding causes, and acceptance of feelings.
March 26 i messages and communication roadblocks
This document discusses avoiding communication difficulties by defining bias, prejudice, stereotyping, and ethnocentrism. It notes that using "you-messages" can make communication more difficult by putting pressure on the message and causing people to feel attacked or become defensive. In contrast, using "I-messages" takes the pressure off by stating personal feelings or thoughts in a way that cannot be wrong and allows communication to move forward in a more constructive manner.
March 22 communication

March 15 more on relationships
There are different types of relationships that serve different purposes. Family relationships are generally unconditional while friendships can range from acquaintances to intimate friends. Functional relationships help meet non-emotional needs like academic or financial needs and prioritize tasks over personal feelings. A healthy relationship is one where the benefits received are greater than or equal to the costs based on the social exchange theory, while exploitation occurs when one person benefits far more than the other. Maintaining balanced, equal relationships promotes well-being.

March 01 setting goals
Setting goals provides internal motivation and is an effective way to measure success. Goals work best when they are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound (SMART). Good goals include milestones or stepping stones to break larger goals into smaller, shorter-term mini-goals. While maintaining focus on the overall task, goals should remain flexible - increasing resources used or adjusting target dates if progress is too slow. The key things are that the goal continues motivating efforts and movement toward achievement.

Wants are things that are not essential but would improve quality of life if obtained, and vary between individuals based on interests and values. It also introduces Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, which arranges human needs in levels of importance, with physiological needs at the bottom and self-fulfillment needs at the top, explaining that lower level needs must be met before progressing to meet higher level needs.
February 01 values
Values are the ideas and beliefs that guide our lives and things that are important to us, including both tangible items like possessions and intangible qualities like love and friendship. We begin learning values from birth primarily through how we are raised and influences from family, friends, and personal experiences, with many values developing further during adolescence as we determine what brings happiness versus pain and benefits the common good of others.
April 27 family hobbies assignment

For a report, students should discuss their current family's hobbies, differences between generations, hobbies of families in the past, and how their family may have been different if living in another time period.
April 26 families through history (continued)
The remaining dollar is still with the manager. When the three guests originally paid $30, and the room rate was only $25, the manager should have given $5 back. However, he instead gave the full $5 to the bellboy to return to the guests. The bellboy pocketed $2 of that $5 and distributed the remaining $3 among the 3 guests as $1 each. So the total amounts are:
- Each guest originally paid $10 and got $1 back, so paid $9, for a total of $27 among the 3 guests
- The bellboy pocketed $2
- So between the guests ($27) and bellboy ($2) is $29
- The original overpayment
April 22 families through history
1) Animals form families for survival of both individuals and species. For some animals, hunting alone allows better chances of survival so they remain solitary, while others require parental care of offspring over a long period for babies to survive and ensure the species continues.
2) Historically, human families formed for survival reasons as well. Babies require long-term care and assistance, so parents stayed together to provide food and security for helpless young.
3) Even as humans gained intelligence, the reasons why monogamous relationships form over long-term are still debated by scientists, with nature and culture both potentially playing a role.
April 20 the seasons of family life
The document discusses the different generations and types of families people experience over their lifetime. Most people will have at least two significant family generations - their family of origin, which raised them, and their family of choice, which they create through marriage or partnership. One may change families through life events like divorce, death, or marriage and start a family of procreation if they have children. How past family experiences affect expectations and standards for future families is also addressed.
