Families that deal most effectively with stress have which behavior patterns?
a. Focus on family problems.
b. Feel weakened by stress.
c. Expect that some stress is normal.
d. Feel guilty when stress exists.
C
Healthy families recognize that some stress is normal in all families, focus on family strengths rather than on the problems, and know that stress is temporary and may be positive. Because some stress is normal in all families, there is no reason to feel guilty. Guilt only immobilizes the family and does not lead to a resolution of the stress.
