Introduction

In the first part of this assignment I set an objective to analyze the general dynamics and characteristics of the group, I am currently working with.

I chose to do a research about children and their well-being which includes the relationship they have with their parents.

Sometimes we are given a heads up; thus, enabling us to prepare ourselves. However, sometimes change comes to us by surprise. And because we ...
