Week 6: Discussion#5

Based on the module, why is it important to have a firmer and gentler relationship in the family?

According to the module, having a firmer and gentler relationship in the family makes them stronger during times of difficulties and crises. These brings them closer to one another and also makes them learn to be respectful, patient, and tender to each other. Moreover, since they have this kind of relationship, they are firm in a sense that they feel secured with one another, yet still gentle by being open in communicating and expressing love, forgiveness, and gratitude. They are also more motivated to be a better model for one another since good behavior is rewarded, instead of being afraid of consequences for their inevitable failures. This makes them more united, trusting, attentive, and and dedicated in allotting time for one another.
