Strength in Family

"The single most important thing you can do for your family may be the simplest of all: develop a strong family narrative."

"The more children knew about their family’s history, the stronger their sense of control over their lives, the higher their self-esteem and the more successfully they believed their families functioned."

Both quotes above come from NYTimes article "The Stories That Bind Us" by Bruce Feiler author of the book The Secret of Happy Families: How to Improve Your Morning, Rethink Family Dinner, Fight Smart, Go Out and Play, and Much More.
