The single parent can help family members face these difficulties by talking with each other about their feelings and working together to tackle problems. Support from friends, other family members, and places of worship can help too. But if family members are still overwhelmed and having problems, it may be time to consult an expert or a licensed mental health professional.

Included in these trends is the expansion of rights granted to same-sex couples. With the decline of barriers to lesbian and gay unions and the increase in legal protections, more LGBTQ populations are living openly. Gay marriage was legalized in 2015; However, for some legal purposes these relationships are still not treated like marriages. Still, in general, families are more racially, ethnically, religiously, and stylistically diverse. However, all of this change does not mean that the family is a dying institution. About 90 percent of Americans still marry and have children, and those who divorce usually remarry.

Conflict is a normal part of family life and can often escalate during teenage years. About 1 in 5 young people say they are concerned about family conflict, which can arise for many different reasons. There are simple tools parents can use to help minimise the impact of conflict on their children and strengthen family relationships.

Conflict is the normal process through which people resolve differences. When people live together under the same roof, there are bound to be disagreements and arguments as personalities clash and everyone wants to be heard. This is one of the most common teenage problems with parents which may lead to ongoing parent teenager conflict.

Conflict in families can impact children in many ways and long-term exposure to conflict may be psychologically damaging. Children can be influenced by family issues like fighting in a number of ways.

"It's very similar to a narcissistic family where all the players within that family, whether they want to be or not, are forced into a survival mode to find a spot," she said. "They either support the narcissistic parent or they are the focus of the narcissistic parent's rage."

Thomas said she often sees that the narcissistic parent will infantilize the needy sibling to stop them from being independent, as it enables them to keep getting their narcissistic supply of adoration. Also, it helps them deny any wrongdoing towards the rest of the family.

"If they've been harmful or mean to children in the family, they can point to how much they've helped this particular sibling to counterbalance any sort of judgment of them," said Thomas. "That sibling getting on their feet and getting strong often isn't the goal of the narcissistic parent. They say it, but their actions completely enable a dependency."

"They love to use group texts as a form of harassment towards others in the family," she said. "The flying monkey sibling is just as toxic as the narcissistic parents. They see the games the parents play, and they reinforce allegiance to the parents through their direct relationship within the sibling subgroup."

"They see all the games, manipulations, and chaos that is purposefully stirred up by narcissistic parents," said Thomas. "Being the withdrawn sibling often leads to speaking up about the toxicity in the family and that causes them to become the scapegoated sibling."

The scapegoat is then the target of the majority of abuse by the narcissistic parent, and any flying monkeys in the family. The withdrawn sibling often finds themselves in the firing line because they're the only one to vocalize what they're seeing as wrong.

"People have to be very very careful before they move from dating to an engagement to marriage that the family they are marrying into is actually matching what they present themselves to be," Thomas said.

Child life specialists work with babies, toddlers, children and teenagers. But they also work with families. They provide support and information for you and your family. Child life specialists also teach effective coping skills. They teach through:

Child life specialists work with any child who has an adult family member in the hospital. They provide developmentally appropriate preparation and education. Preparation is beneficial to your child's long-term ability to cope and manage stress.

Think about the past few months, and literally make a list of everything that was particularly hard. Lack of structure? Too much screen time for everyone? Problems getting kids to do their remote work? Problems getting your own remote work done? Feeling isolated from friends and family?

Nathaniel's family and Palacio spoke to \"20/20\" in 2017 about the similarities between Nathaniel's life and Palacio's book. Russel Newman said, \"When she saw Nathaniel, you could just see this look in her face.\"

Like any mom, I am busy chaperoning Jacob and Nathaniel to their myriad of activities, like Lacrosse, Taekwondo, tutoring, etc. Nathaniel's life has changed the most since we wrapped up filming for our initial \"20/20\" show. He got his learner's permit and started driving. Like any normal\" parent, this was a nerve wracking experience. I often find myself hyperventilating when I sit in the passenger seat and watch my son practice driving. But let me assure you that it gets better with every drive.

Now that he is tracheostomy-free, Nathaniel gets to enjoy physical activities just like every other kid. He loves Tae Kwon Do, which he started practicing about two years ago and is about to start his training for a black belt. He is very proud of himself and what he has accomplished so far. He can now swim independently and even got to swim with dolphins and go snorkeling in Hawaii! Before his tracheostomy came out, he wouldn't be able to participate in these activities. Over the past two years, it has brought my husband and I great joy watching Nathaniel grow and thrive as a normal\" teenager.

The most exciting thing that has happened for our family in the past two years has been the writing of our memoirs. Nathaniel and I have penned two books, both titled Normal.\" One is targeted at young readers (teens) and the other, in my voice, is targeted at the adult reader. I had been thinking about writing our story for quite some time and became even more encouraged after the popularity and success of Wonder.\"

Our goal in writing these memoirs was to go beyond what was told in Wonder.\" We wanted to dive deeper into explaining the physical challenges of being born with facial differences and how they impact more than your social interactions. I wanted to share how, as a mom, I overcame my own immense challenges to raise my children as normal\" as possible. 2b1af7f3a8
