Wayne and Kelly have engaged well during the contact times and have missed no contact sessions. Wayne and Kelly usually arrive for contact well before the scheduled time. They also ensure they feed children during contact hours. Additionally, they interact well with the children and use praise while talking to the children. Although the parents use praise when talking to the children, I feel there is a lack of explanation on why they are being praised. Recently I have been giving the family feedback of how the contact sessions went with the ethos of improving the way they interact and support their children. Both Wayne and Kelly have shown their desire to improve the way they look after the children by carrying out given advice. Below, I summarise the observations for the Milligan family. The summary is based on the SHANARRI principles: …show more content…

As an example, when the family goes to the park, they inform the children how and when to cross the road. However, there are occasions I noticed that they take their time to intervene, especially when the children are engaging in risky behaviour. As an example, on one occasion, I saw Damien eating while lying on the floor. I immediately intervened and told him that he should sit up as he risked choking from the food he was eating. This was, however, an isolated incident. In the future, it would be ideal to continue advising Wayne to ensure that he knows the risks that might pose a danger to the children. Healthy: Kate told me that the health care needs of Damien are being looked into. Recently, I t has been agreed that Damien should be encouraged to use the bathroom during contact time to comply with the requests of the

Stone writes about three essential functions of family stories– to pass on the family’s standards, to identify family characteristics, and coping strategies. The first of the three functions is the standards of the family since the family act as the “first culture,” teaching people what their family values and their opinions on certain situations like marriage and illness, mental or physical (Stone 384). The second factor is the family’s characteristics and their traits that bind them together, which act as the family member’s confidence boost (384). Furthermore, this boost makes them value themselves more than the next family, so that the family members contently remain together (384). The third factor is influencing how families cope; these “teaching stories” tell each family how to function outside of the family (385).

George Hadley is a successful and prosperous man, authoritative husband, and an oblivious, unobservant, and emotionally absent father. “They walked down the hall of their soundproofed Happylife Home, which had cost them thirty thousand dollars installed, this house which clothed and fed and rocked them to sleep and played and sang and was good to them” (Bradburry). With this quote, it is understood that although George Hadley had good intentions regarding the way he provided for his family, his materialistic nature and groundless expectations are what lead him to his death. The lack of stability, discipline, boundaries, and accountability that should be lead by a strong-willed yet compassionate father not only excused his childrens behavior, but encouraged it as well. As unfortunate as it is, George Hadley’s clouded judgement lead him to believe he was doing the right thing in giving his kids all that they desired and longed for without realizing that he was denying them everything that they truly needed, a

There’s no typical family as nuclear families as in the past and not everyone lives in a multigenerational household. Same-sex families are also on the rise as sexual ambiguity is undergoing its own wave of acceptance in all political, social, and economic spheres. With the absence of the parents’ presence in the home due to an inability effectively balance work and home life, children could develop an emotional void/absence.

In mapping this communication, the eight principles measured by Brown may become apparent not only to the therapist, but for the first time, the family may be able to see just how their functions are impeding the balance of their family and condoning strong exhibitions of universal traits within particular family members. The Bowen family therapy approach is invested in the intergenerational processes that are prevalent between generations (Bohlinger, 2010). By increasing differentiation between family members and between the generations, if possible, giving each triangle meaning rather than repetitive opportunities at increasing anxiety (Bohlinger, 2010). Focusing on this historical perspective, the origin of the family and environmental factors that surround the progress of this family, the genogram focuses itself on growth and self-actualization as the ultimate goal for the intervention (Nichols,
