Depending on how the family was arranged in the room, I may want to rearrange them in order to strengthen some bonds or weaken others. I would want the mother and father together, the little brother in the middle between his parents and his sister, since he seems to be forcing himself away from the family by instigating arguments. This would be a way to try and reconnect them. I would want to assess the parental hierarchy to see if their way of parenting is effective, insufficient, or excessive. Based on the arguments and relationships observed in the film I would say that their parrenting style is insufficient.
The search for love is what inspires Janie’s epic journey through life. As a young girl Janie is already searching for her true love, but unfortunately her dreams are crushed by Nanny. Nanny tells Janie that she must marry now, despite not being in love. Her first marriage to an older man by the name of Logan Hillicks is where Janie first questions her role in society; Janie questions whether she belongs in the house or should be doing manual labor in the hot Florida sun. Janie soon grows unhappy in her first marriage and runs away with a man with big dreams, Jody Starks.

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:
She currently lives with her mother, who is divorced from her father. She has one older sister, who is currently away at college and a younger sister from her father’s previous relationship. According to her mother, her maternal grandmother used to live them until she died six years ago. The loss of the grandmother was very difficult for Client’s A mother, as the grandmother was the 2nd caregiver due to the divorce. At this point, Client A inconsistently
A disadvantage of this intervention is that the close bond that Ms. Malcom has with her family can be damaged, as everyone begins expressing their feelings on Irene’s behavior. For Ms. Malcom an emotional cut off needs to take place. The proximity of Ms. Malcom and her family to her parents is causing problems within the Malcom family. Ms. Malcom although independent is dependent on her parents for emotional support and this is clouding her judgements as her parents are of another generation and may have experienced the same problems and but the way the problems would have been resolved was differently because of generational gap. Ms. Malcom should proceed by emotionally separating herself from her parents as a physical separation may cause more undue stress on her.
The Jones family seems to support a state of equilibrium around abuse. After being sexually abused in her childhood, the homeostasis of the family was revolving around Precious being the recipient of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. At times that Precious tried to go against her mother’s orders or tried to stand up for herself, Mary returned the family to equilibrium by abusing her daughter. This was the cycle that developed after the Carl Jones raped Precious and saw her as a sexual subject to use for his desires. The Jones family is not exception to the family life cycle developed by McGolderick (1999).
Family is one of the most important parts of life growing up. A strong family is what growing children need to be successful and have a bright future. Growing up in a family that is weak, does not have strong family ties and is violent leads to problems for the children and the parents, which is seen in Hillbilly Elegy and Evicted. Violence in families can affect children greatly, it can lead to second generations of poor communication between spouses and can be overall unhealthy for those living in that environment. J.D. Vance is immensely affected by his mother 's violent outbursts and multiple relationships.

The characters in Parenthood appear to be the evolving family for the 1990’s. The Buckman family is comprised of four different parts that include a Grandma, Grandpa, and Larry, the youngest child; Gill, one of the fathers; Karen, Gill’s wife; Kevin, Gill’s oldest son; Taylor, Gill’s only daughter; Justin, Gill’s youngest son; Helen, a single mom; Julie, Helen’s only daughter; Gary, Helen’s only son; Nathan, one of the fathers; Susan, Nathan’s wife; and Patty, Nathan’s only girl.

Main Analysis The varieties in family structure are exposed in the television series Parenthood. The small families within the Braverman family give relevant examples of the change. Each of the children in the show has their own unique support system. All families prove relevance to prior research conducted on the topic.
It is very important that parents exist in the life of their children, support them, and be a good role model for them. Parents that are not emotionally involved in the lives of their children tend to have kids that cannot find themselves in life and struggle from lack of attention. Lack of parent’s attention and impossibility to find herself is exactly what happens with Connie. Her father does not take part in the family’s life at all.
While Keith’s actions do not directly affect Lauren’s relationships, the pieces of insight Lauren takes from Keith do. This is evident after Keith runs away from home as it creates tumult in the family. Lauren’s disapproval of this agitation inflicted on their parents forces her to reevaluate her plan of leaving the community as well. The emotional turmoil between her mother Cory’s persistent accusations and the Reverend’s desire to move forward as a family forms a division in the household. In this conflict, Lauren sides with her father and the differences between the two begin to dissipate as similar ideologies spawn.
