CLANS HAVE WELLNESS

FWR Says:  Go For the Whole Family — The Clan

We all know that the family is getting fragmented by our pace, our work, our media and by technology. What we don’t know is how today’s lifestyle is effecting marriage, young children and teens.

New forms of family are becoming common - The blood lines don’t always work. A family is where a member’s love of the others doesn’t change regardless of anything. Family members are those who show up when things are at their worst.

New studies show one big fact: In the Clan with strong family ties, their members do well in their learning, work and individual lives. If the wider family leads we follow. Here are some Clan facts:

1. Family relationships don’t take second place to careers, things or luxuries
2. Parents keep grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins involved
3. Children are full members - chores, thoughtfulness and decisions
4. One troubled member is not be allowed to disrupt the family
5. All remember that forgiveness builds relationships
