The Waltons always struck me as one of the strongest illustrations of a genuinely strong and truly nourishing family system.
They truly love each other unselfishly and everyone’s feelings and dignity actually matter to the rest of the group at the end of the day. They all learn from each other, recognize when they’ve acted poorly (the grandparents, parents, and children alike) and do their best to figure out where they can contribute knowing they will be supported and upheld in turn

Winnocott’s term “Good Enough Parenting” may be at least a little bit related to what you’re looking for.
I suppose other options could be along the lines of “read these 30 dense psychology books or get a degree in psychology.”
Unfortunately, I don’t think I have much better answers for you, but I’d be interested to hear a succinct answer to this too.

what if you don’t have kids?
i don’t think they have a decent definition. i mean i looked around and couldn’t find any remotely decent definition

That’s why I said “at least a little bit related to what you’re looking for” rather than “exactly what you want.” The “Good Enough Parenting” thing is more focused on raising kids. Beyond that, I’m not sure I can help.
