Families should fulfill five functions: physical needs,economic needs,reproductive needs,affective and coping needs,and socialization needs.A child with poor social skills probably (but not necessarily)comes from a family that is not fulfilling the child's socialization needs.Assuming that the child has an emotional or mental illness without further assessment is unhelpful.Assuming that the family is lower income,is poorly educated,and has poor job skills is stereotypical.
