All the rules and do’s and don’ts in a family come down to a few timeless values.
The principles that find relevancy in any context and encapsulate truth. The Golden Rule mattered 1,000 years ago and will matter 1,000 years from now.
Be deliberate about these values. Figure them out and show them off. Talk about them. Debate them.
When the kids are all grown up, you hope they will think of these values as just a part of family life growing up.
