FLEXIBILITY Many families throughout the world have shown remarkable resiliency, or flexible adjustment, to natural, economic and social challenges. Family flexibility is the ability to cultivate strengths within a family that will help all members meet the challenges of life positively. Because families show flexibility in unique ways, there are no universal rules for success. Flexible families: · work towards shared goals through self-sacrifice, persistence, and loyalty to other family members · are resilient to change rules and share decisions that stimulate growth and health · develop healthy lifestyles. Resilient individuals demonstrate the following traits: · Insight: seeing things as they really are and not being afraid to ask questions · Independence: becoming one’s own person and not caught up in being someone else · Healthy Relationships: connecting with peers and friends in ways that build self-worth and belonging · Initiative: developing interests, talents, confidence and leadership abilities · Humour: willing to laugh at self and with others · Creativity: using art, sports, etc. to express one’s uniqueness. Families that learn how to cope with challenges and meet individual needs are more flexible to stress and crisis. They learn to solve problems with cooperation, creative brainstorming and openness to others. A family’s goals, values, problem-solving skills and support affect its adaptation to long-term stress and crisis.

FAMILY VALUES Values are a reflection of who we are, of our culture and of our own unique heritage. Being clear about our values enables and empowers us to establish priorities and make decisions that we can live with and by. What we learn from our families in childhood builds character and serves us throughout our lives. Families guide personal growth and education, while offering love and protection. Many of our family ideals, beliefs, behaviours or “values” are merely habits of thinking or behaving. Values are critical in building character and increasing an overall sense of well-being. The foundation of character building begins during infancy and slowly evolves through childhood and adolescence. People do not suddenly become honest and responsible. The development of these values is a long process that entails many interactions between children and adults. Positive values within families: · Promote honesty, integrity, commitment and loyalty · Encourage respect for self and others and tolerance of differences · Require being responsible and accountable for your actions · Teach fairness and treating people equally · Foster being a good citizen who appreciates doing things which make life better for self and other people. |
