Reaching this outcome implies being able to coordinate various different things at once, and parents have to keep the different wants and needs of individual family members in mind to ensure that a good balance is maintained within the home.

Basically, parents are confronted with two essential areas to work on: first of all, keeping the home safe from criminals and intruders and all sorts of other dangers, human or not; secondly, parents need to facilitate an atmosphere of trust and enjoyment that includes all at the expense of nobody. Accomplishing these two things simultaneously can be significantly trickier than it would seem.
