Overall health behavior of the family
As assessed from the interview questionnaire, and the responses, it could be observed that it is the mother who takes care of the health of all the family members. According to her, the children regularly have salads and homemade soup, and they are not allowed to have fast food. The grandparents go to a laughing club every weekend, but nowadays they are not going for the same. The father goes to work in the government labour department, and does not get much time for exercise. The mother teaches in a neighbourhood school, gets home by 5pm, and watches soap operas in television, while the father reads newspapers.

Functional health strengths and health problems
The two major functional health strengths of the family assessed here are regularly going for evening walks and regular intake of water, green vegetable, and fruits. The three major problem areas in health regarding this family are stress and anxiety situations have known to increase blood pressure and blood sugar levels suddenly. Children lead mostly an inactive lifestyle with most playing with video games and rarely taking part in any outdoor activity, therefore, they face pain in feet and hands due to the same reason (Kohls, Walker et. al, 2016).Women of the family suffer from breathing problems and get tired easily after doing household work. In addition to this, the children get seven to eight hours of sleep while the elders like the parents, and grandparents get five to six hours of sleep. The grandparents suffer from health issues like joint pain and high blood pressure. The parents have complaints of stress, depression, and anxiety due to work pressures and untimely food intake (Fang, Vincent et.al 2015). According to (Fang, Vincent et.al 2015), the assessment of the few adults suffering from sexually transmitted diseases like HIV/AIDS have given the results that these individuals are coping up with stress, anxiety, and depression with the support of their family, and peers.
