Families show remarkable resilience to the charges in the environment. They respond in several ways.
by adjusting temporarily to external forces such as natural calamities like flood, earth quack etc and compels the family to move else where until it has time to plan for the future.
by moving to more congenial surrounding for education of children or to avoid social pressures due to some reasons etc.
by recognizing the family system to cope with an unexpected change in the environment.
Ex. The person has to accept lower paying job because of change in the organisation where he work. To meet this new crisis, the family may shift to other locality where the wife will get some job opportunity.
