Strong families keep their priorities straight. They put the family first. They commit their time and their energy into building the family up and strengthening the bonds within. They don’t let other activities or people come between them.
Strong families trust their guts. If they get an uneasy feeling about something; say agreeing to a weekly activity that falls at dinner time, they don’t do it. They try to find an activity that allows them to enjoy time to themselves, but that doesn’t hinder the bonding experience of the family. They find balance.
Committed families have moms and dads and brothers and sisters and grandparents… who know they are valued and loved.
