Healthy Family
Is your family healthy or unhealthy? Good question. In fact, it’s one we parent should ask ourselves on a regular basis. Unfortunately, it’s a question we generally prefer to avoid. Instead, we both take it for granted that our families are thriving or stick our heads in the sand and ignore the signs that they aren’t.
Even if we were willing to ask the questions, we have no systematic means of obtaining an answer. We have ways to assess the health of individuals and corporations and whole societies but virtually none to assess the health families and not – contrary to the macho myth – a few rugged individuals, which built this nation. It’s time we started paying attention to the role that sound, stable families play in a viable society. Here’s I’ve notice that healthy ones share certain characteristics.
