Parenting and Communicating with your Teen

I’m going to be honest. I have fears for raising my future children because I don’t have confidence that I will be able to help them learn responsibility without interfering in their lives as much when they are teenagers. I have fears because even though I learned a lot from my parents, and I respect them and honor them for everything they have done for me and taught me. There are different approaches that weren’t handled well in my family, so I hope not to follow bad techniques on parenting unconsciously. I see myself acting in an authoritarian way with my siblings, and I do not want to practice this kind of parenting with my own children. I know that the best kind of parenting does not involve coerciveness, but it involves smart techniques that teach children responsibility without force.

Family Systems Theory

I think we all know that each family is different in their own special way. Either in culture, race, religions, or even just different set of rules that each family practices. This week I learned a lot more on the types of theories that social scientists use to explain certain things in a family, in order to understand certain beliefs or actions that specific families take. One of the main theories that I want to focus on is the family systems theory, which states that there are multiple subsystems within the family unit. There are different relationships(Dynamics) that makes the unit unique. For example, there can be A mother a father, a son, and a daughter. Yet the subsystems in the family can be that the Mother and Daughter have a special connection with each other, another subsystem is between the Mother and Father and they only discuss certain topics with each other that their children don’t know about etc. The family systems theory also states that each family has u...
