    In Family to Family, Dr. Pipes and Mr. Lee set to establish routines and suggestions for building quality family time for Christian families. According to Pipes and Lee, the reason why churches are losing teens once they become adults is that families are too busy, too involved in outside activities and not incorporating Christian values and quality family time into their routines (Pipes and Lee, 2010). It is a very simple book, written in plain terms that does not incorporate a lot of technical terminology or rules for families to follow.…

    As many of us have experienced, parenting is a special skill that does not come with an instruction book, nor a magic genie that helps us solve the issues we may face during parenthood. As many families know, creating harmony in the household is a challenge that sometimes never ends, however, parenting strategies give families the tools to approach the varied situations family interactions create with solid, efficient skills. Almost every family is faced with the challenges of balancing a career, a romantic partner or spouse, individual needs, finances, and the needs of their children. For this assignment, we were expected to interview two parents from different families who have been parents for at least a period of ten years. The interviewees included a mother from my church and the mother of my closest friend. By interviewing these parents, I learned how they have managed to successfully raise their families while balancing their careers, finances, personal needs, and romantic relationships. By learning of two different perspectives on parenting I was able to predict how my personal parenting strategies would possibly be in the future. In addition, I learned about various parenting skills that I had never thought of before and was able to use the 8 needs and 9 skills to create a new variation of the parenting strategies that I had thought of in the past. We sometimes fail to realize how much we can learn from others and by completing this assignment, I revealed new and more improved approaches of becoming an effective parent while harmonizing the other dynamics of my life.…

    The interaction of adults and children is one to be treasured. When a person becomes a parent they change. He/she instantly becomes more mature and are forced to take on numerous responsibilities. However, every parent will agree it is the best feeling one can have. It is truly a privilege to bring a child into this world, and there is nothing more special than to begin a family. During this course I choose to help facilitate two chapters: Work and Family and To Parent or not to Parent. This is what I have learned... This course had three required texts including The New Peoplemaking by Virginia Satir, Marriages and Families by Mary Ann Lamana and Agnes Reidmann, and Annual Editions by a variety of authors. These three articles really helped me to shed light on some of the hidden topics in family life. What exactly is a family? As defined in the Lamana text it is any sexually expressive or parent-child or other kin relationship in which people live together with a commitment in an intimate interpersonal relationship. Family members see their identity as importantly attatched to the group, which has an identity of its own. Families today take on several forms: single-parent, remarried, dual career, communal, homosexual, traditional, and so forth. More and more families are struggling to make the connection of work and family fit together. There are many issues that working families face such as when if ever will the parents go back to work, child care issues, finances, stress, marital strain, division of labor, and and many more topics. As tradition has it men are the breadwinners of the family but during recent years that role seems to be changing. More and more women have white collar jobs, and are bringing home more money. Tradition leads us to believe that men bring home all the money and women stay home with the kids. However, now in the 2000's dual career marriages are more popular , and women are coming home to the "second shift",…
