The Crucial Role Of The Family

Your family was probably the most
powerful influence in your early life.

From your primary family you learned:

How to get along in the world
How to make friends
How to express affection
Who to touch
How to touch
When to touch

How to view yourself
How to take care of yourself
How to be well
How to be sick
What to eat
How to eat
How much to eat
When to eat

How to talk
How to fight
How to win
How to love
Who to trust
Who to distrust


And much, much more-all before you had the opportunity to see
that other families often do many of these things differently,
that yours was not the only way.


To get clarity on your current values write down some of the things
you learned about each of the areas above on a piece of paper.
