Declarations
:
: The study has been evaluated by The Regional Committees on Health Research Ethics for Northern Jutland in Denmark and it was declared that ethics approval was not required (See Additional file InternalRef removed: Declaration). The study thus was given exempt from ethical approval in September 2019 with journal number 2019-000199 in accordance with Danish law ExternalRef removed (Sect. 14). All participants have to give or have given informed consent either in written form as an adult or orally as a child. Legal guardians have to or will give informed consent for all participating children under 18. Further ethical considerations include the following: It is the facilitator's responsibility to be aware that the family will not be stressed or anxious by participating. Activities must not discourage a positive sense of mastery or diminish self-esteem in individuals. It is not about working with individuals, problems or family conflicts and family members must not be excluded, devalued, or judged. Of course, activities should not overstimulate or overwhelm families, or be too difficult for families to carry out. The facilitator must be careful not to reinforce power struggles and unhealthy competitive activities. Activities must not be capable of destroying instruments beyond repair, nor should violent and/or aggressive behaviour be tolerated.
