Subject: Chapter 9-Family Processes

Chapter 9 reflects on two basic premises of parent-adolescent relationships 1) the very important aspects of developments and 2) more positive once believed. Stanrock outlines this faimly process in three stages Reciprocal Socialization and the Family System; the Developmental Construction of Relationships and Maturation. This is a very interesting concept and holds a lot of merit. In my family I know that there are certain dynamics between parents together (polyadic) and parents alone (dyadic)(Stantrock, 2007). The old saying that you are a momma boy or a daddy's girl, must have come from this concept. This family social system has its own subsystems of which polyadic is a part. I remember that I could not get my way with both my parents, but I had a better chance when alone with my father. I found it just as interesting findings were consistent among happily married parents are warm, sensitive, responsive and affectionate with their children (Stantrock , 2007). I had two happy parents, but my children only had me, a single parents. I would think that it was not the happy marriage as much as it was a sense of confidence in their ability to be a parent and passing this assertive position on to the children. In addition to be Black and a woman, there is a sense of assertiveness and control in the position of being a parent.
