Characteristics of A Healthy Family
Having a
common frame of reference is certainly a good place to start on
journey of knowing each other. Here is one perspective.
In a healthy family each individual is:
-
Treated as though you
have a unique kind of genius that is
loved and respected.
-
Told that you can do and be anything you wanted
and that you’d be loved and admired no matter what
-
Given help and
encouragement in finding what you want to do - and how to do it.
-
Encouraged to explore
all your own talents and interests, even if they changed from day
to day.
-
Allowed to complain
when the going gets rough, and given sympathy instead of being
told to quit.
-
Bailed out when you get
in over your head - without reproach.
-
Surrounded by winners
who are pleased when you win.
-
Encouraged and taught
to honor yourself with healthy boundaries
both with your family
and with others.
