Feedback:
A basic family function is to provide an environment that supports the growth of individual members. Supporting individuals in their physical, emotional, economic, and social growth is vital to family and societal well-being. It is not practical or appropriate for family members to provide everything that each member wants, nor to require that family members are accepted into society. It is important that the family protects and uses appropriate resources, but needs to share resources with the broader community.
