We learn our values within
our family which in turn contributes to building character. The love and support we experience within the
family enables us to step out into the community and be the best we can. The encouragement we receive within the
family helps us to learn to trust others and to become part of a greater
family, a community. Being part of the
family can equip us to grow up as healthy persons. Our families provide the security we need in
a world full of insecurities.
We deal with all kinds of issues.
Among some of them is authority and control, communication and decision
making or problem solving, and how to deal with aggressive behavior and
anxiety. Each family develops it’s own
style. The family is where we
experience frustration and tension. This
is where we learn to resolve these issues and learn how to show sympathy,
understanding and lots of support. Developing
rituals, phrases, secrets, tastes, jokes are ways we identify our particular
family. I encourage you to be
intentional about doing things in ways that brings the sense of belongingness to
those in your family.
