Family Values

Almost anything that a family does together -whether it is eating in a restaurant or camping, or going to church or hiking or bicycling- is worthwhile, because it promotes a family spirit. Children may resent at times that they cannot do what every other child on the block is doing. But, they gain the security of a family membership.

The civilizing of a child began when they know the meaning of restraints. If a child is to learn to be an adult, he has to begin by respecting the adults he knows best : his parents and grandparents. By learning to obey his father and mother, a child has the freedom within the boundaries they set for him to discover his own identity. By learning to respect other people's rights, a child gains his self confidence to claim as his own.
