TMIT 04: Family Values
The Most Important Thing About Family Values
In this episode, we dive into a foundational family topic: family values , and specifically, how they can be more than just words on a wall.
We explore why values matter—not just for adults, but for kids too—and how research supports the idea that the way we communicate values shapes how deeply they’re understood and lived. We share a practical framework for making values REAL – Repeated, Embodied, Applied, and Literal – and some suggestions for each.
