IT CAN BE DONE

Healthy Habit: Family

If you did a search on the internet about the importance of family, you would probably find a ton of studies with a lot of feel good terms but when you are kid you are probably not thinking about building a foundation for future relationships and success.  Instead, some kids are forming opinions about family based on their experiences.  If they get their way, they love their parents but if they don't-their parents are the worst.  Sibling relationships can also vary moment to moment- love and hate them.  The hope is that with maturity their viewpoints will adjust.
