The Most Important Thing About Family Values

We explore why values matter—not just for adults, but for kids too—and how research supports the idea that thewaywe communicate values shapes how deeply they’re understood and lived. We share a practical framework for making valuesREAL–Repeated, Embodied, Applied, and Literal –and some suggestions for each.
