The positive, encouraging relationship of a family system brings health, vitality and a thriving foundation for a child’s self to develop (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). When secure attachments do not occur, negative parenting style exists, and where a warmth dimension is void, the outcome can have a negative impact on the health and development of the child’s self over a life span (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). Research of family systems has existed for over 60 years and has shown the influence that the family system has on the physical, social, emotional and spiritual development of the recognized self of a child (Kreppner & Lerner, 1989, p. 34) (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015).

God’s Word gives sound advice “Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4, NIV). “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it” (Proverbs 22:6,
