Family Assessment
Interviewing the selected family was able to illuminate their specific views on health in general along with their particular views on all the specific factors and tenets of health. Just as every family is different, this certain level of differentness can manifest through distinct perspectives on health and various manifestation of health behavior. I interviewed the Gomez family; the parents of the family both came to America when they were under the age of ten. Their three children were born here. Thus, there is a certain amount of push and pull in the family with traditional Mexican values and more modern and Western American values, when it comes to health (Peterson, 2013).
When it comes to their values and their perception of health these aspects tend to be more over-simplified. The entire family just views health as the absence of disease: this is problematic because the entire family appears to be overweight and somewhat lethargic, but they generally view themselves as healthy simply because they possess the absence of disease.

They appear to have no understanding of nutrition, or the importance of fruits and vegetables, thinking that nearly every food possesses the same nutritional value. It practically seems as if the family believes that if something is edible, it is also nutritious. This is extremely problematic as the family seems to consume a diet of starchy carbs, sugary drinks, fatty meats and on occasion, over-boiled vegetables. The only servings of fruit that the family seems to ingest are via sugary fruit juices and occasionally canned fruit cocktail. There's a tremendous amount about the family's diet that needs to be corrected.
The family has mixed views on the importance of sleep and rest. For example, the mother of the family is the only one who seems to keep to a regular, and health sleep schedule of eight hours. The children are often allowed to stay up much later than they should, with no permanent...

Family Cycle As per the Calgary Family Assessment Model (CFAM), developmental assessment has got to do with the evaluation of not only the stage a specified family is in, but also familial tasks and attachments.
