Problems you prevent (or mitigate) when using Family Dynamics

1.Lack of autonomy in children and adolescents: Overprotective family environments can limit children's and adolescents' ability to develop autonomy and decision-making skills, which may hinder their personal and social growth.


2.Difficulties in conflict resolution: A lack of tolerance for frustration in children and adolescents can lead to challenges in managing conflicts constructively at home and school, negatively affecting family and school relationships.


3.Isolation and lack of social support: Poor communication and relationship dynamics between families and schools can result in a child's or adolescent's isolation and a lack of social support in both settings. This can impact their emotional well-being and ability to effectively handle challenges.
