It is often said that “the whole
is greater than the sum of its parts.” Let’s
take a cake for an example. You wouldn’t
want to get a bag of flour and eggs on your birthday – you would want a
cake! All of the ingredients alone are
good, but together, they make something great.
This is like a family. Alone,
each member can be successful, but when they all work together, it make
something that is indescribably special.
Another part of families that this
touches on is how family members interact with each other, and the boundaries
help determine this. A child is
typically more comfortable with one parent than the other, which throws off the
boundaries a little. However, parents
and children should work on having a balance relationship between each member
of the family. The following cartoon
shows how the boundaries between parents and children can be a little too
unclear, which can result in the parents being too overprotective of their
child.
