A Healthy families focus on family strengths rather than on the problems and know
that stress is temporary and may be positive.
B If families are dealing effectively with stress, then weakening of the family unit
should not occur.
C Healthy families recognize that some stress is normal in all families.
D Because some stress is normal in all families, feeling guilty is not reasonable.
