Structure and Chaos

"With no structure there is chaos. With total structure there is no room for emptiness." - M. Scott Peck


Healthy family life requires a proper balance between structure and chaos. With too much structure, there is no room for creativity, reflection and personal expression. Too much chaos leads to uncertainty and constant anxiety. Families need a meaningful level of predictability in order to function properly. It is our job as parents to provide this health balance for our children.
