One of the things that's important about family is the narrative history they create for themselves.

I really like reading about how families work together.

Build traditions of family vacations and trips and outings. These memories will never be forgotten by your children.

Back in the old days, when I was a child, we sat around the family table at dinner time and exchanged our daily experiences.
