“The trend in our culture is to devalue—even bypass—the family as a basic unit of socialization. But it’s within the family that children learn to love by seeing love demonstrated; learn unselfishness both through teaching and through example (choosing to teach a child at home is unselfishness at work); learn conflict resolution by figuring out how to get along with parents and with each other.” -
Susan Wise Bauer and Jessie Wise[Don't let society tear apart your family. Impart your values to your children. Learn from your parents what things they hold dear. Even if you don't continue all of your family traditions, learn about them, and teach your children about them. Society is built out of families. And strong ones are needed to perpetuate a society worth living in.]
