Not everyone's family looks or acts like the Brady Bunch, or like the nice families on Neighbours. In fact, most families have stresses and arguments.

But even though things in families can get stressful at times, there are some things that should never change.

What families should be like - always

Your parents and other family members should

care about you
look after you
try to help you with any problems
listen to you
never hurt you
never hurt each other.

Parents and family members should treat each other with respect.
