In discussing the four family communication patterns from the textbook, Danielle and I discussed the communication patterns of the familes that we grew up in. After reading all four of the patterns Danielle stated that her younger family life fit the "Protective Families" description well. "Children should be seen and not heard" was and still is a favorite saying with Danielle's step father. She has also said that her parents made little effort creating oppurtunities for family discussion. Almost all decisions were made by her step father.
My family falls into the description of "Pluralistic Families" we would often have broad and open discussions on the days events. My family does not try to control each others beliefs or attitudes.
