Part one: In one complete paragraph of at least 7 sentences, minimum, describe the challenge you have chosen, using information directly from the text.

Part two: In one complete paragraph of at least 7 sentences, minimum, discuss any family dynamics that might contribute additional stress to the situation, including parental/family challenges such as a divorce, unemployment, illness, incarceration, death, expectations related to race, ethnicity, gender, social class.

Part three: In one complete paragraph of at least 7 sentences, minimum and after conducting Internet research, provide two total community resources, one formal and one informal, that you would recommend families access during a similar life cycle transition.

• Describe the links you have offered. What services do they offer?

• Explain why you have chosen these resources, what makes them beneficial?

• Include the internet links to these community resources.

• Include your references at the bottom of your post

Submission: After you post your initial post, reply to two or more of your classmates' postings (three additional postings are needed for an "Exemplary" grade).

• When responding to your classmates, using both the readings and module material, offer them an additional family dynamic a counselor might address in their situation. Be sure to offer and cite material directly from the readings and module material and provide passage, page numbers, chapter, and quotation marks.

• Using the Internet as a resource, also provide an additional formal or informal community resource that differs from the community resources they mentioned in their post, and differs from the community resources you included in your initial post.

• Be sure to describe the resource you have offered. Explain why you think this would be a useful resource, what make it beneficial?
