#5 Response to research article and magazine article on "Stories that Bind"

I really loved the three different articles and how they were tailored to their audiences. Even more so, I loved the message and it made me think of what stories I know from my own family. Truthfully, I knew probably half the things they asked for. I even called my mom to ask some of the questions. I wondered if it were true of other strong families, so I asked my husband. He knew most of the answers to the questions and somehow I knew the answer to the questions for his family. Of course, this didn't surprise me all that much, since his family routinely plays board games and tries to have family home evening every week even when everyone isn't in agreement.

Hopefully, I can put this advice into play when we start to have kids. Spending time with your family and good communication with them is huge to a child's happiness and success.
