“The lack of emotional security of our American young people is due, I believe, to their isolation from the larger family unit. No two people - no mere father and mother - as I have often said, are enough to provide emotional security for a child. He needs to feel himself one in a world of kinfolk, persons of variety in age and temperament, and yet allied to himself by an indissoluble bond which he cannot break if he could, for nature has welded him into it before he was born.” PeopleIfsWorldNeedsFeelsBelieveChildrenPersonsSaidTwoEnoughAgeYoungMotherFatherI BelieveParentBornFamilyBreakSecurityEmotionalMy FamilyMereDuesVarietyOur FamilyIsolationUnitsTemperamentAbout FamilyLarge FamilyFamily ReunionFunny Family ReunionFamily UnitFamily BondKinfolk Author:Pearl S.

“A farmer who had a quarrelsome family called his sons and told them to lay a bunch of sticks before him. Then, after laying the sticks parallel to one another and binding them, he challenged his sons, one after one, to pick up the bundle and break it. They all tried, but in vain. Then, untying the bundle, he gave them the sticks to break one by one. This they did with the greatest ease. Then said the father, "Thus, my sons, as long as you remain united, you are a match for anything, but differ and separate, and you are undone".” LongSaidFatherUnitedFamilyBreakSonPicksLaysSticksBunchVainEaseMy SonTeamworkFarmersParallelsUndoneBindingBundles Author:Aesop
