Hey,
I like the information we learned on Strong Families in class, it’s so applicable to everyone’s life. I also liked teaching it to someone else, even though it was a little awkward. The characteristics seem so obvious, but they can easily be passed over if your family is not in the practice of using them. Through this lecture and the American Family Strengths Inventory I realized what a strong family I’m blessed to live in. I feel like two of our strongest strengths as a family are our positive communication and spiritual wellbeing. We are a very supportive family and we build each other up with our words and actions. Also, we hold our religious beliefs very close to us and our values bind us together, especially in tough times. My Dad left about 5 months ago for Afghanistan and it has been hard on us. However, these strengths have helped us thrive despite missing each other. In a professional light, I can see how homeostasis (resisting change) would be a big factor in helping families become strong families. I believe having solid research, like what we were presented with, would be important when trying to convince families that the 6 characteristics of strong families will truly help their families.
