Emotional regulation is a key component of strong families. The ability to discern when and how to express emotions can assist individual family members in building and maintaining positive relationships. Family architecture and childhood attachments will be reflected in the flexibility and resilience of the adolescent, but especially of self-consciousness. Relationships initiated during childhood affect how adolescents see the availability of parents and form relationships with others. The success of these relationships depends on the level of development of emotional intelligence, considered by many to be essential for a life of success.
