In the jellyfish family, structure is almost nonexistent. The environment is chaotic. Rules and guidelines are absent or inconsistent. Children don t know what is expected of them. In the brickwall family the parents set the rules.
Discussions are few and far between.
The structure is unyielding. Control and power belong to the parents. The backbone family is flexible yet firm, just like your spine. Children are loved unconditionally. The house rules are understandable, mistakes are seen as chances to change and grow, and children are not rushed into learning new skills.
