Family Attributes

A few qualities of an optimal family I can think of include:

•     An established, open communication
•    Close relationship with siblings and parents
•    Reliability
•    Proper boundaries

For this post I would like to talk about having proper boundaries.  I think boundaries are very important because with out them where would you draw the line? We have boundaries to keep us safe and to avoid potential family crisis's.  Family boundaries can also teach each member responsibility and accountability for their actions. Each family member will need to understand the boundaries and know the consequence if now followed. If an individual needs help with a certain boundary, open communication is vital because your will be able to receive that support or advice that your need. Proper boundaries are truly important in a family setting.
