An Ideal Family
My idea of an ideal family is based on such values as pure respect and understanding among all family members. I also realized that an ideal family is such where children are not afraid to ask any questions to their parents. From my side, I take a balanced approach and do not try to avoid responding to these questions. Personally, I come from a family where the dynamics was shaped differently. I have a 7-year old child who was diagonsed with autism, and another 14-year old son. The task I placed to myself was to dismantle these barriers and communicate with both of my children on equal terms, so that their differences would be minimized. Another challenge I had to overcome was educating my children who have different fathers. I realized that I should put a lot of effort explaining these differences to my children. I also realized that an ideal family is such where children are not afraid to ask any questions to their parents.
