Creating a Family Culture

What You’ll Hear in Episode 002: Creating a Family Culture

Developing a Family Culture the set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution or organization

Creating a shared vision or culture bonds the parents and children – siblings support and challenge each other to live up to the family code of conduct.

Everyone has an innate need to belong to a “tribe”, a family, a group. If WE don’t give our children a culture to belong to, society will.

What are your family’s values, goals, and expectations for you, the parents, and for your children?

If we don’t define the end goals of this calling we have as parents, bringing a family into existence, then we can fall victim to just bumping along.

I encourage you to spend some time thinking about what kind of family you want to nurture. Maybe it’s taking a step back and reflecting on whether you’re on the path you imagined when you began.

Periodically, we need to consult our compass and make sure we’re on the right road to get to our destination.

But first, we have to know what our destination is.

I encourage you to define your family culture and move on to a family mission statement – clearly articulating what your family is about.
