They reveal:

• Why chaos in the home is not random
• How getting loose with expectations creates stress
• Why unclear roles lead to confusion and conflict
• How inconsistency builds frustration over time
• Why even strong families can drift into chaos during busy seasons
• The difference between a discipline problem and a structure problem
