You are to compare and contrast observations of family dynamics (can be from a television show, YouTube video, church gathering, or real-life comment) and dynamics from a non-family group.
You're to explore the family dynamics by recognizing the patterns of relating, or interactions, between family members. Remember, each family system and its dynamics are unique, although there are some common patterns; you'll need to note these in your write-up. You'll also note the discrepancies between families observed about individual contributions of helpful and sometimes unhelpful dynamics.
Compare and contrast family dynamics, including family alignments, hierarchies, roles, ascribed characteristics, and patterns of interactions within a family. Where possible, use a strengths-based approach when exploring family dynamics, and identify strengths or ways a design serves those involved. Also, identify patterns that are problematic and may need to be challenged. Further, you'll want to include the influence of the family on young people in the family system, i.e., the way young people see themselves, others, and the world, as well as the structural influence on their relationships, behaviors, and their wellbeing.
