The theory of family systems is a theory that sees the family not as independent individuals, but rather as one structure(R3). The activities of people in the system are controlled by elements of agreements made as well as the limits that are defined. These two distinguish each members' role and obligations and they also help establish a structure of respect. In this case, the principle of family systems can be used to help bring about progress by helping to establish behavioural boundaries. For instance, a restriction can be created for the kids that they cannot be up past a certain time and also limits can be created to et rid of the actions of openly disagreeing with the kids
